Immaculate bathrooms. Plenty of shade where the play area is. Just add a splash pad and this would be our ideal park!

A quick disclaimer for the following review -- This review pertains to the fishing quality of the…read morearea. I worked in Laveen for many years and drove past this location on 91st Ave hundreds of times but did not know about the Tres Rios Wetlands until a friend suggested it for a fishing outage. The first recommendation I will make is to bring/leave nothing of value in your vehicle. This is a high-crime area of Phoenix and the "parking lot" for Tres Rios is essentially just the shoulder of the main road. There have been several police reports filed at this location for vehicles being burglarized and catalytic converters being stolen. Secondly, a permit is required to park/use Tres Rios. The permits are free and available through the Tres Rios Wetlands page on the Phoenix.gov site. Each permit is good for a 6-month block. I have no idea if there is any enforcement action taken against non-permit holders but the consequence is a class 5 felony for trespassing on government land per multiple signs posted all over the park. Finally, if you went through the trouble of obtaining a permit and driving here just to fish, you may have set yourself up for disappointment. The actual wetlands sanctuary area that is advertised on the website is completely off limits to the public (including permit holders) and is surrounded by a 7 ft barbwire fence. The only area where fishing is actually permitted is a small strip of water outside of the sanctuary. The area is not maintained and it is completely surrounded by thick 6ft tall reeds and grass with only 3-4 gaps over about a half mile about the width of a single person. Maybe I went during wrong season, but the ground was covered in swarms of millions of ants crossing the pathway. Be careful what you put down on the ground or where you stand as you're likely to be covered in ants. If you're here to walk, hike, or birdwatch, I'm sure this location is beautiful gem in the desert thats full of wildlife. If you're here to fish it's unfortunately a big disappointment.

It was our first visit and we had a blast. Great little park in a nice neighborhood, includes a…read moresplash pad, a duck pond, big Ramada, bathrooms, basketball courts and a large play area, it is well maintained and seems safe, I haven't ever encountered any transients and it's nice place for pictures too with a waterfall on the pond. I like the fact that there is playground equipment that's age appropriate. Nice place to come to see geese, ducks and other birds all around. My friend went here and saw the "Burrowing owls". They named two of them:) There were about 5 of them all together. Just wish there was more shade near the water area, it's hot out there in the sun! Will definitely visit again. There is a group workout of Saturday mornings at 7 am that is great too.

I wish I didn't have to say this but please do not take your kids to the park at this location!!!…read more I had to unfortunately watch a elder man bathing himself as well as another woman and it just was horrible. I offered them our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and got them water went to the store and got them some more food and snacks but I just highly recommend you don't let your kids play here or bring them here. It is overpopulated with homeless people and it's just a little bit nerve-racking because they aren't Going to move or get up for you if you ask them to or if they see you they just stay there laying on the benches and the splash pad is covered in dirty muck water!! :(
