On a late afternoon weekday there were quite a few young people upstairs using weights. They don't have the latest machines but they do the job. They also have a 1/12 of a mile track that is adequate for walking or short distances. There's racquetball and Basketball courts that are also for volleyball and pickleball. In the middle is a small climbing wall that is often busy. There's also ping pong and Foosball tables. They also offer Classes like zumba and yoga; the yoga class was okay but the instructor could have been friendlier to everyone, not just certain people. They have reasonable prices compared to regular gyms and offer resident and nonresident daily passes. Staff was very friendly. Too bad there's no pool!

Lots of benches all over so you can sit and enjoy your view of the park. Great for feeding and observing the ducks, and it also has play areas for kids and tennis courts. We come here at least a couple of times a week, and I absolutely love it.

They are rib by volunteers. The trails are clean, dogs welcome everywhere, horses in designated areas, camp sites also available to rent which come with bbq grills and pits along with space for tents. Check out their website for the info. This is a great park to take your kids to the playground, go fishing, get your steps in, take your dog food a walk or have a date. Many picture perfect spots which are popular for graduation, wedding, and birthday pics. I even saw a couple get married on the bridge at sunset a quick 5 minute ceremony to not hold up anyone. Parking in a few spots and adjacent to the library for extra parking. 2 bathrooms I've been to are clean and maintained. Water fountains also there.

As the event was close to beginning and seating had filled up the event staff was diligent about locating open seats and coordinating with visitors to get them a chair. Then they quickly pivoted to setting up more seating for the increased demand. Fair amount of parking on all sides of the building.

Recently started classes here now that the summer has pretty much outruled outdoor play. My son…read moreloves it and the class instructor is very friendly. My other mommy friends also join us, so he had some familiar faces to play with. It's held once a week for about 6 to 8wks (class length varies) indoor, they have cars, balls, hoops, ramps, tunnels, blocks, trampolines, lots of stuff that littles under 3yrs old can play with for 45min. It includes song time and a bit of outdoor play with bubbles if weather permits. I like having affordable, short term commitment classes like this for my son, esp during the summer. I really have zero complaints: registration is easy, it's affordable, it's nearby, it's entertainment for my little man.

We arrived between 6-630p and the main parking lot was full, but there was another lot close by that had some spots open. Lots of people were swimming and hanging out on the beach. There were lots of boats and jet skis too. It was a really great night/sunset with the canyons surrounding the lake. Kind of a cloudy sky, but the stars eventually came out! A very relaxing time! I would definitely come back here!

I recently had my son's 1st birthday party here and the process was very easy! My husband was able…read moreto call ahead and book the Maple Room. They had a lot of available amenities for us to use if we needed them. The day of process was great! They had carts available for us to utilize to unload/load our items. The Maple room was fantastic and large enough for our space. In the contract, you can request the staff to set up the chairs and tables for you for an additional fee, which we opted for. All we had to do on our end was set up the party decorations and set out the food. They assisted us in setting up the audio, there was a mic for us to use, and a tv if we needed it. The room itself is connected to the patio area, which would be fabulous for an evening event or when the weather is nicer! They also had doors for you to use to exit straight to the bathroom area. There was plenty of parking as well and a playground nearby for the little ones. I was very happy with this space highly recommend!

As a respectable hiker, I'm not going to call this a hike but it is a cool experience. I stopped by…read moreon Memorial Day in the afternoon by design. It was 95 degrees so I knew a challenging hike would be out of the question. Something like Hole-in-the-Rock though, easy peasy. While there were a decent number of people there, I had no trouble finding free parking. This natural wonder is located in Papago Park close to the Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden. After you park, you'll have a five-minute walk to get to Hole-in-the-Rock. You'll have to climb an incline to get in the hole, so definitely be careful, but there are kids that do it too. And a lot of tourists that show up. So that pretty much sums it up. Once you get inside, you'll have an awesome view of the Phoenix through a literal hole in a big rock. You'll see a lot of people using it as a photo opp. That's not really my style, so instead, I took a seat and enjoyed the beauty for 10 minutes or so. It can get pretty crowded so keep that in mind if you stop by on a weekend. Hole-in-the-Rock is one of the top attractions on TripAdvisor in Phoenix. Definitely a cool (and short) adventure to cross of the bucket list. I spent 30 minutes there (which included hanging out in the rock for half the time).
