"Great park for sports, playing on the playground or relaxing."

"Playground plus open spaces. Plenty of room for picnics and family outings. Dog friendly."

"This is a great park with a big open field, kid friendly playground, a basketball court, and tennis courts. Downside is not a bunch of parking area."

"Fun place to walk around the dogs. Not too busy but there were families having fun. Enjoy!"

"Western Star Park is a great family park at the base of South Mountain in Ahwatukee on 44th Street and Western Star just north of Elliot. It's a great place to bring the family. They have a large grassy area to play games and to walk the dogs. They also have a children's play area with nice sturdy modern equipment. The thing I like about this park is that it has a bathroom. It also has grills, a basketball court, many many picnic tables, a baseball area, a volleyball court, a tennis court and a lots of park benches under the shady trees. The city just planted 20 more trees in this park. It's usually pretty clean but today it seems like there's a lot of trash cans turned over which could mean that there were javelinas in the park.. yes. If you come in the evening you will see a few coyotes lingering since it's at the base of South Mountain and maybe in the middle of the night the javelinas come to snack. It's in a great neighborhood though. It is very safe and secure although I have seen a few druggys hanging out once in a great while. It's a great community place. I've lived here 24 years and I come to the park every day to walk my dogs. I feel very lucky to have this park just a block from my house. Today a group of soccer players have set up camp and earlier I saw some cricket ball players practicing. It's also home to other little league teams playing different sports. Rick Metzner is the hardest working employee the city of Phoenix has. His mission was to keep the card green. He had to really do some investigating as to why the sprinklers weren't working and he found out that the valve line was cut by pranksters. This guy is out here sweating and toiling everyday. The City of Phoenix got a fantastic employee to keep this park pristine. Come visit and take advantage of a great city park."
