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!

This is an AWESOME OASIS right along the highway (Open Nov thru April on Saturdays 9-5 and Sundays…read more12-5) with so much to do in a quiet, hassle-free space. The 28-acre site includes a botanical garden featuring Sonoran desert vegetation, a watershed model, a pond for wild and domestic waterfowl, and a display of antique farm equipment. Rumor has it that there is also a mysterious tortoise that hangs out there, but you have to find him!!! The BEST thing about the place it that you can walk around in silence and clear your head, chek out the antique tractors and farm equipment, enjoy the vegitation or just sit in the shade (many benches provided along the way) near the pond and watch the ducks and the other people (very kid friendly) enjoying themselves. I would check out their website, because it's loaded with suggestions and facts about the awesome garden activities. http://www.yumaconservationgarden.org/YCG%20Activities.htm

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!

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!

The lasers weren't on during the day, but the small train was in great condition and we were able to board the cabin.

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.)

The host family paid our admission, and we paid for food. The food was the usual fair food and decently priced and tasteful. The water park? Lots of options; such as a lazy river and, of course, the tube rides! The lifeguards were on their game; helpful, friendly, and watchful. There was a section for toddlers, and a section everyone could enjoy. Yes, a section for the wet bar as well. They had shaded, seated areas for rent, but we grabbed two free table areas upon arrival. There was a nice mix of music and people, and everyone seemed to get along. Overall; great time. A little bit on the pricey side, but you get your money's worth, especially as the heat rises. Recommended!
