He has disabilities so he didn't understand why he was being yelled at. She blamed him for a kid who tripped after getting off the slide. I told her I was sitting there right next to the slide happen in front of me. She continue to argue with me. Daycare centers (home based or businesses) should not be at the park acting like they owned a place. If they're gonna be acting like that and using the playground to provide businesses to those parents kids, they should be paying a fee they use the park as apart of their daycare schedules. And you should be keeping an eye on your children and not lash out at strangers children as if you owned a park. All the private home daycare centers and daycares owners should be aware that their employees are infringing on other people's rights to utilize the park.

What a great find! We were looking for some activity without it being a "death march," and this…read morewas perfect! Located near the university, this park is really more of an "educational" destination up front, with a few picnic tables, a lizard garden, a butterfly garden, a pond, etc. But it's also a trailhead for a trail that you can take as long as you like. We went on a Monday afternoon, and there were cyclists, joggers, people with dogs.... It wasn't crowded, necessarily, but it seems to be popular with the locals. It's nice and flat, too. We did about a three mile out & back with our dogs, and it was just right! And of course we treated our canine companions to a treat at the Dog Haus afterward! (Not in the park!)

There's a butterfly garden, lizard garden, at least one trail (probably more!), art, and a playground. We were all super impressed! Only drawback was not being able to figure out how to flush the toilet. I promised we tried 9 different things!

Buffalo Park is an amazing local park. Great views of the mountains. There are multiple well cared for paths that take you around the good sized park. Lots of birds and various wildlife. I even saw a baby gopher snake. They have some outdoor exercise equipment as well. There are bathrooms near the entrance and everything is well maintained. Definitely worth a visit!

After reading up on Buffalo Park, I knew that would fit my needs. Arriving around 7 am on a random weekday, the lot was already 3/4 full. Lots of runners and walkers getting their morning workout in. There's a 2 mile loop that is well signed and easy to follow, as well as off shoots of trails for longer hikes, including the Arizona trail. Since I was short on time, I mainly stuck to the loop and then did maybe 1/2 a mile on the Arizona trail out and back so I could get an even 3 miles in. Nicely maintained paths and wonderful views of the mountains. Really well done urban park that seems to be a local favorite.

This is one of my favorite hiking areas to bring the dogs that is close to home! Little Elden Trail…read moreis about 11.7 miles and is good for all skill levels! The trail is in its best shape from April until November, but we've gone there all times of the year and see other hikers, horses and mountain bikers, and even with snow, it's not too challenging! The hike will bring you through forested Meadows and then around the east slopes of Little Elden Mountain. Along the way it passes through old and new growth forests and the remains of the 1977 Radio Fire! Lots of rocks and greenery! Once the monsoon season starts you will see wildflowers galore! The route will lead you by two springs, Sandy Seep and the larger more developed, Elden Springs, near the end of the route! This hike is part of the Arizona National Scenic Trail (AZT), a route stretching lengthwise more than 800 miles through the state from Utah to Mexico! Let's not forget the beautiful sunsets that I've snapped a couple of pics of here! We also see tons of wildlife from small animals to elk, snakes, horny toads, lizards and tarantulas! I like its proximity to home, ease for vehicles to access and our dogs love it here! We never see too many people around, so it's a peaceful spot!

We were specifically looking for a place to sled. This place kept showing up in the search. It was…read morea short 20 minute drive from downtown Flagstaff. Keep in mind that we came during mid-March. There weren't any attendants around and the place was empty. There wasn't a ton of snow left because of the time of year, but there was enough left from last week's snowfall that it served its purpose. The kids had fun for a couple hours sledding. I read they don't allow plastic sleds there normally. You would need foam or inflatables. There are supposed to be 2 main runs but it was hard to tell which they were. We didn't have trouble finding some hills to play on. There was free parking and a restroom. Plus! It was pretty muddy getting back to the car but that's expected for snow play. We had a good time here and it was a nice little free excursion for the kids.

It's okay, so crowded people leaving trash all over hard to find a place to park it's just okay!read more

There is an irate camp host there that should NOT be dealing with people! My cousins were visiting…read morefrom Missouri and we wanted to take a day trip to go fishing there. We went on a Monday 08/25 and we pulled up to a spot that I had been to a few weeks back that the NICE lady camp host let us stay in since there was NOBODY there and it wasn't reserved for that day or even the next. We paid 12 bucks and was able to stay and fish for a few hours. (Thank you nice lady camp host!)... Now the "other" camp host was just the opposite, he was already rude and angry when we go there. He demanded we leave the spot and said "I don't even want to hear it, move you truck!"m "Can you read the sign that says this is not a day area spot" He was yelling at my cousin and I so we were just trying to get back in the truck while he was still yelling. We just wanted to get out of there. I would not usually review a lake camp area, but this guy was ridiculously rude. He was a short older guy and his camp was a tiny trailer that looked home-mde to me. Anyways I hope the Government Park services see this because if makes the wrong person mad he would be a liablilty.

Please…read morewear your snow boots and snow pants because after it snowed, there were areas that were 2ft deep. If you stay closer to the parking lot, the snow is shallow. We checked out the whole perimeter and it was a very good size! Lots of families having fun in the snow. We'll be back. :) Tip: if you see shrubbery, the snow is low enough to cross. If you don't, the snow is too high. Don't gauge on trees or baby trees. During the warmer months this park is used to observe wildlife, so come back and bring binoculars then.
