There are separate areas for big dogs and smaller, more timid ones, but the area for the small dogs is still pretty spacious. The grass is well maintained, even in the dead of summer, and there are a handful of young trees offering a bit of shade. For a wide open area, it surprised me that there weren't more trees sprinkled about. There are only 3 benches for owners to relax while pups are goin wild, two of which are right at the park entrance. In my experience, not the best place to put benches because inevitably people and dogs tend to hang out there, which causes some commotion as dogs are trying to come in and out. There's a water spigot for you to refill water for your pups, but only one small metal bowl for everyone to share. I'd recommend bringing your own water dish, and I usually just bring my own water too. We'll likely be back, as it's probably one of the nicer and bigger parks in this part of the valley.

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.

I passed two dead catfish, belly-up near the shore in two different places as I walked the length of the lake. Water pipes and covers are broken throughout the park, art pieces are corroding, and just about every surface of this park is covered in graffiti. A shame, because this park was once very nice. I do enjoy coming here during the spring and fall months because it's a solid distance to walk, the sidewalks are wide, and there are a lot of community picnic areas. This park is so big, it stretches across both sides of Mill Avenue off Baseline Road. There's a place to rent paddle boats and bikes, and there are fishing areas spaced strategically around the lake. Something I also like is how easy it is to find shaded areas. This is a very family friendly park with space for children to play. It's also a great place to bring your dog and have your daily walk. There is a recreation center on the SE side of Mill Avenue that houses tennis courts (and I believe there's a pool). Also within this area is a large playground. I also love the ducks, and I'm sad they're swimming in polluted water. City of Tempe: be better. Take care of your parks, especially since tax dollars go toward the upkeep.

The only downside: there is only one fenced in area. Other dog parks I have been to separate it by big and small dogs.

What a spacious, clean, and well-designed facility! They have an indoor basketball/pickleball court, a fitness center upstairs with an indoor walking track--perfect for those hot summer days--a gaming room, a relaxing sensory room, classrooms, and conference rooms for various meetings needs, including youth and teen programs. There are also plenty of outdoor work spaces with beautiful views of the park that rival any coffee shop. For just $50 a year, this community center offers so much and can go a long way toward meeting a variety of community needs. Definitely worth checking out!

We love to take walks around the magnificent lake which has an incredibly good and convenient concrete path good for walking, jogging or biking! They have plenty of trash receptacles, lots of shade trees and benches for watching the water or the birds. My recommendation of Cesar Chavez Park may sound like a commercial, but I wholeheartedly think it is an underutilized place. Sure, I encounter many families enjoying the picnic areas, kids on the playground area, some fishing going on... but mainly on weekends. This place beets the mall anytime for wiling the time away, enjoying some fresh air or just contemplating Mother Nature at its best as structured by man. It's amazing what this park has to offer, everything one can imagine or want and hard to think so much is here in a park like Ball Field; Basketball Court; Dog Park; Drinking Fountains; Grill/Picnic Area; Playground; Racquetball Court; Recreation/Community Center; Restrooms; Shade Structures; Skate Park; Soccer Field; Tennis Court; Urban Fishing; Volleyball Court; and Lake. This is one of the best local parks, recreation and cultural facilities, and uses of open spaces in Phoenix. We are so happy that we happened to be just a few minutes' drive from it.

I go here all the time, especially when the Indian school dog park is closed. However, the last couple of years I've been there an aggressive little bulldog has been obsessed with my dog and tries to mount him so I've had to leave early but that's no one's fault. The owner is really attentive here and everybody picks up after their dogs. It's a great place to go.
