There's so much wildlife here, especially today. It was fun having our bird app to help identify the different bird calls. We also saw 3 families of ducks with babies. So cute. There were also bunnies, quail, pelicans, and even a coyote today. If you haven't been here, it's a must see.

You will see rabbits, squirrels, ducks, turtles, fish, and a wide variety of birds. It feels like every time we go, we see something new. It is also one of the few places in the Phoenix area where you can see pelicans out in the wild, which is really cool. On our last visit we saw a coyote, a whole flock of pelicans take off and soar for a long stretch, and a bunch of little duck families with baby ducks. It is just a really peaceful place to spend some time. This is a perfect spot for a walking date or to bring the family and enjoy being outside. Definitely one of the better outdoor spots in the area.

The park offers two sections: one for small dogs and one for big dogs. We have two big huskies, so we took them to the big dogs area. It's nothing fancy, but it's open and has plenty of space for our pups to run around. There's a few benches with shade and a water station. There weren't many dogs when we arrived, but this was in May, so it was already pretty hot. We stayed for almost an hour, just enough to let our pups get some energy out without getting too hot. We will be back!

I drive a brand new bus and not having a clear path out without picking the lesser of three evils and going down an aisle to hear the loud scratching of your paint job getting ruined was gut wrenching. Upon leaving I had deep scrapes along the roof line that are now clearly visible. I notified our directors and we won't be coming back to this location and if we do ever need to the students are getting dropped off way out on the street. I will not be coming back into this parking lot ever again.

It shows the orientation of the fields, the parking and entrances, and where the bathrooms (stars) are. There are entrances on the N, E, S, and W, as well as between fields 12 and 15 to get to the bathrooms. You should look at the map to see where to park. The grass fields are in good shape and the bathrooms are pretty new and clean. Just check my map so you know where to go. It also shows where they are compared to the original fields 1-6 which are SW of these fields.

The parks I grew up playing at were nothing like this one. There is a 50-foot tall Genesis climbing tower, playgrounds with a rubber surface to protect from falls, a 60-foot long caterpillar mesh rope climbing structure and a splash pad. The lake is stocked for those that like to fish. There are picnic tables, a fountain and ramadas that can be reserved in advance. It is nice to come here in the evenings and see people going on walks and families gathering for celebrations. We all need to get out and enjoy the outdoors more in my opinion. Riverview Park is next door to Sloan Park and the Mesa Riverview shopping area. There is so much in this area to do and enjoy. I have really enjoyed living a short drive away from here the past couple of years. Riverview Park is located right off the 202 freeway and has plenty of parking.

I was disappointed there are no exercise machines/stations which is common at LA parks. A Ramada reservation glass had an old reservation notice that should have been removed. Another one was broken. While 2 maintenance staff were just standing around chit chatting, I pointed out to one a water fountain was inoperative(important since this is the hottest large metro in US with alot of seniors). The guy acted like I was bothering him and didn't seem to care. The Park is rundown and needs new grass.
