George 'Doc' Cavalliere Park

"This is my favorite park with my kids! It's beautiful, quiet, shaded, and surrounded by nature. Good place for kids, dogs, hiking, and basketball. My kids love riding their Scooters and bikes on the big basketball court area. The bathrooms are my favorite... made from nature. We've had each of our kids' birthdays here for the last 4 years, and everyone agrees that it's worth the drive! It's even more magical at sunset! Great spot for a photography session at Golden Hour."

"This is a great park tucked away in the desert near Troon. Very clean, great bathrooms, and lots of shade. There’s a large grass area as well for the kids to run around on and plenty of parking. The kids play apparatus has everything from slides, climbing walls, monkey bar type structures, pole to slide down and a climbing structure. There’s something for every kids play style."

"Really awesome park for all ages. This park has very nice trails for families. You can get some really good photos of the dessert on the small hike. My kids loved the playground and large artificial grass area that includes water sprinklers to cool off in the summer. One of the most unique parks in Scottsdale. Definitely a place to visit if you are new to Scottsdale. And if you get into the hiking spirit while you are here there's Pinnacle peak and Tom's thumb trail 5 minutes away."

"update 11/16/17: Beware of rattlesnakes spotted in the area! This is a great park! It has a very well shaded playground. A large artificial grass area for picnics or water play, as it has self operating sprinklers.There are two well kept basketball courts. There is plenty of shaded area, lots of seating and picnic tables. The bathrooms are clean. There is an easy hiking trail that starts at the park, it has awesome views. There is a large real grass area. There is plenty of parking. There are drinking fountains for dogs as well."

"Neat little park in Scottsdale. Really enjoyed the views and some of the architectural elements that were brought into play. Had a very refreshing feel to the location. We happened to be there on what was otherwise a quiet day, but it's clear that there are birthday parties in the pavilion as well as basketball games (see photos). All in all, I'd recommend going and I look forward to going back."
