My only complaint is that I did not see any trash bins nearby so people seem to leave bottles behind. Also there is a lot of broken glass on the floor.

We loved this park!…read more The park itself has a large playground area (seen in photo) for bigger kids to run around. There is also a side, smaller area for toddlers with smaller slides, swings, climbing tubes, etc. Along the perimeter there is a traditional zip line and one with a chair. This is also connected to a trail that goes along the Colorado River that has very nice views and is quite long!

The park has bathrooms, picnic tables under a large pavilion, a play ground, and a sandy beach. There's even an outdoor shower for cleaning off the sand when you're done. On an August weekday around noon, there were multiple families at the park to lounge and swim. The bridge provides ample shade for sitting on the beach or swimming in the water. The water was clear and looked clean. Some kids had tied a rope swing to the bridge and were swing jumping into the water - so fun! Yuma is HOT and frankly quite ugly, without much to offer the passerby outside of food, fuel, and the prison (also worth a stop!!). Gateway Park is an exception - a beautiful spot and a great break point for the weary traveler. Bring swimsuits - you won't just want to dip your feet in!

Seemingly all the times we've been here the other groups of people have been very mellow. I mean, yes they're into their own get - togethers but the hootin' and hollerin' you'd expect from other beaches? Not so much here. The lake current is nice and strong; you could float on your back down the river if you wanted too. I got a good workout in there just crawling around and things. Like I said, most of the river is not as deep as after a rainfall. Recommended!

When we arrived at Mittry Lake they were already there waiting for us and by the time we walked from the car to the ramp the kayaks were ready for us to hop in. This was the first time for a couple of us so it was really nice that Leto's made sure that we knew the basics and made sure to answer all of our questions before we took off. The lake is beautiful! Very peaceful and relaxing! It's really nice at the boat ramp, there is a huge covered picnic area with several tables and bbqs. The only thing I would change about our recent kayaking trip with Leto's is upping the 2 hour rental that we had and reserving them for longer! Such a great company and amazing experience. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend!

The kayaks were of excellent quality and much better than typical rentals. Owner Dale was also super helpful and accommodating for us. We had a super fun time kayaking at the south end of the Colorado River with lots of interesting channels making you feel like you were exploring the jungle of the Amazonas at times. This is the most fun place I think I have ever kayaked. If you want to have a great time kayaking, this is the place for sure and if you need to rent this is the place to get rentals.

Located in the northeast corner of the Hilton Garden Inn property, Pivot Point sits above Gateway Park. The parking lot says it is only for the Hilton Garden Inn Convention Center so we probably broke some trespassing law. (Thankfully, the Territorial Prison no longer takes inmates.) It's a quick 5 minute visit, but it's also free.

Friendly staff! We're able to stay here 2 weeks free. Very nice lake, 2 pools, 2 hottubs (one is huge). Water aerobics if that's your thing. I'm gonna stick to hot tub and heated pool. They have library, billards room, and cards room (currently closed~Covid). Laundry. You can park here for a year for $2100+electric. They have a mail room. Lots of activities precovid.

This is actually one of the better Encore sites I've been in…read more We don't have a dog but the area looks nice to me. There is no grass because it's Yuma. The palm trees are awesome and are is some of the oldest in Yuma, and are well kept. That along with many other various desert plants including the magnificent bougainvilleas spotted throughout the park. It is well maintained by the most attentive staff I've encountered. As far as the wi-fi, that review is 6 years old. I actually carry my own Mi-Fi from Verizon but as a courtesy, the host loaned me a box (secured by my credit card only, no charge) to access over 300 channels or so. The wi-fi was also available everywhere and there was plenty of activity available. All of the staff I encountered were very pleasant and helpful and the maintenance was impeccable. This was my first trip to Yuma and we were so pleased we stayed a few months and plan to return. There's a jam session on Tuesday hosted by volunteers and the pool was recently cleaned. The laundry and other areas were extremely clean and comfortable. We actually included encore in our many many memberships to these parks and find they are all very much the same but I would consider Capri one of the best. It's a little loud being close to the airport but I happen to enjoy seeing the Marine maneuvers fly out as well as the other aircraft that fly out of here. If you're into sunsets, we'll forget about it, this is hands down the absolute best for sunsets. I've traveled to many places and Yuma ranks definitely in my top 10. In fact I would say Arizona has more than a few awesome views including one that rates including in one of the Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon, a trip from here would make a great route for anyone. There are in fact several trails, taken by some earlier in history that started here in Yuma and are still here. The Colorado River passes through and the farmlands around are just beautiful to me. The Palo Verde (state tree) was in full bloom along with other things and the area close to the Capri is quite nice.
