Over Memorial Day weekend we were on the quest to play in as many parks as possible. When we…read morestopped for lunch in Payson I went on Yelp! to find a park to play in before driving back down to Phoenix so my daughter could get out and play. When we first drove up to the park, we went to the older swing set (not shown in the photo) and were a little let down because it wasn't kept up very well and pieces of the play equipment were broken. When we walked around and up the hill we found the nicer playground with better looking and more updated equipment! It was so fun even I got out on it and played. It looks like a really great neighborhood park that was very busy with baseball tournaments. We would definitely stop by the next time we are in town.

It was an hour ride, but I think it was so worth it! My dog really enjoyed it! What I loved was that the facility and trail were clean and well maintained. There was a restroom station and a marker/direction for a subtrail at the entrance from a parking lot. The trail itself was clear and not crowded at all. There were just 2 other people we met during a weekday late morning during our visit for an hour there. My dog really enjoyed roaming around the trail and we loved that we didn't see any trash at all. While the trail was a bit unleveled, the path was clear! Bonus too that it was a free hike/walk for us, including parking! The only minus was that there was no cell phone signal (T-mobile/Mint Mobile), so I was very wary that we might get lost if we didn't keep track of ourselves well enough..so we mostly stayed on the trail and didn't go in too far. But...it is a wonderful place to enjoy the nature for sure!

Even if you're visiting the Phoenix area for only a few days the Tonto National Forest area…read moreprovides several memorable experiences. We spent a full day visiting the Lost Dutchman national park, Goldfield Ghost Town and the Apache Trail road (at least to the part where it was closed) Because of large fires the Apache trail is closed at the halfway point. Dont let that stop you from driving it anyway. Lots of place to pull over and take pictures.. There's also a nice lookout at Canyon Lake, and if you can swing it try getting there at sunset.... The Goldfield Ghost town is also a fun and free diversion with gun battles and plenty of sweets and gift shops.. The Lost Dutchman park has a great morning hike called Siphon Draw to Flatiron trail.. 6 miles total and it's not easy but the views are epic. Look it up on Yelp...

There is a nice turf area with benches. There is water and dog bags. There are also paths around the dog area where you can walk but on leash. The parking lot for the dog park was very small and you can only get 1 hour of free parking. Luckily I found a spot but if no spots there is probably a pay lot nearby.

Many small dogs are in large dog areas;oblivious to all the deaths by a shake or two. People with little kids, new born infants, and working on computers...are in denial of the safety of others. Last time there, smaller dogs fought over squeeky toys and pet treats. I like the park and dogs playing together. Perhaps random officials going there may be one way to encourage folks.

This park would be 5 stars if it were updated and if some owners actually watched their dogs. The…read morepark is large with separation for large and small dogs. Artificial turf and decomposed granite surfaces. The turf needs replacing. Plenty of seating for people but many folks sit in a circle to visit, which is nice, but it means they aren't watching their dogs so they aren't picking up the poop. A few dog regulars are somewhat aggressive so shouldn't be there at all. Sadly, a dog was injured yesterday after being attacked by a larger dog. It happens because they are dogs but reactive dogs should not be at a dog park. For the most part, the people and dogs are friendly and have fun.

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.

I think this is great because some little dogs are to afraid of big dogs. I would just like the grass to be more lush. It is fairly dried and hot during the summer. The only time you can really use the park is in the morning when it is cooler. Other than that. I would recommend.

Loved this 8 miles round trip trail…read more Easy access by a regular car to the parking. Be sure to arrive early as a parking is limited. We arrived around 7am and it was about a half full. When we were ready to go home around noon, this place was packed. Most part of the trail has tree shades, with nice water sound, I felt pretty cool in the hot summer. Trail is mostly flat. Less than 1,000 feet in elevation gain. Trail has access to the creek throughout, you don't have to hike all 4 miles to enjoy cool water. Bring lots of water. I carried almost a gallon of water with me and I think I consumed 2/3 of them. I saw a camper hiking down in the morning. They said they packed everything including water and spent a night in the woods. That sounded really intriguing, I think I should really thinking about camping here someday.
