It is off the 10 freeway, had a decent size parking lot, and there are covered picnic areas. It is a decent park and has exactly what we were looking for. It is clean and there are bathrooms, a play area for kids, some basketball courts, a walking trail, and a nearby water feature that is on the walking trail. The bathrooms did not have any soap or sanitizer though. This is a good spot for a picnic, or to sit and relax, or get some exercise.

Breathe in that fresh crisp air. We are passing through and the park awaits. Time for puppy fun run…read moreand plays. In our many travels the puppies persist with their whines. "Please let us out mama!" They either need to potty or play. Probably both. In my travels with my four legged kind, parks are better than rest stops for walking puppies. Every time we opt for a rest stop, other fellow humans come up to us wanting to play with our puppies. We all need our time alone to do our business, puppies are no different. The small pleasures of serenity in a park give the dogs a quiet place for their enjoyment. As their handler I can enjoy a small amount of joy as the puppies have some quality romp time together with no one around. In the middle of nowhere we found this park in the Yelp search. It came back under the search words of park. It's corresponding Yelp page shows no one has explored it yet. We are the first to give our report. The puppies are playing enjoying themselves. It's a rather small place with lots and lots of grass. It's in a little neighborhood that seems to be very safe and quiet. Great place to walk the dogs and enjoy a stroll with the puppies. The climate is perfect right now with the cold at bay. The temperatures in the low fifties. The grass is kept nice and short. If it were warmer out you could enjoy a stroll on that soft grass. The park is well kept with a small jungle gym for the littles. It's nothing fancy, but a small place to enjoy a breathe of fresh air. Their is no fence for your puppies so obey the leash laws in your local community. Currently, just the littlest of the pups is on a leash for "others," protection. They run and play chasing each other. The few trees here the dogs scent; this park is definitely puppy approved. We are on the road again after a few hour lay over for some puppy rest time. As the puppies played we enjoyed some picnic foods from the ice chest. This is a lovely place to build those strong bonds at. Be a kid and go play. The twins slide down and the dogs greet them from the other side. As they play hide and go seek the puppies follow the twin leader around. So much zany fun. We laugh and giggle as we separate ourselves from the world for just a moment. Remember what it was like to be six, perhaps ten. Take the family to the park and remember these days of long ago. Happiness is a count away. Tag y

There's also a small gift shop with nice items, though it can feel crowded when several people are inside at once. Keep in mind the garden is outdoors, so Arizona summers can be very hot. It's best to visit early, bring water, and plan for the heat. The garden is also smaller than expected--you can likely walk through it in about 30 minutes or less, depending on how long you stop to enjoy the scenery and koi. They also offer excellent workshops and special programs throughout the year, which are worth checking out for a deeper experience. Be sure to visit their website for the latest schedule. Overall, it's a peaceful, beautiful escape and definitely worth visiting--especially if you enjoy koi, gardens, and tranquil scenery.

The playground is very safe which I love, the only area that is high is the boulder rock, made for older kids, but small kids still want to climb on it and it is hard for me to get my toddler down since its tall. Lots of covered table areas. Public bathrooms. The lake is huge with fish and ducks. The only downside is that the lake is smelly every time I have gone here and could be a lot cleaner. Overall, love going for the playground for my toddler.

My only negative is that I wish there were more areas to sit down and take in the scenery.. I was happy to discover a shaded area with a table and some chairs near a chicken coop where I was able to enjoy Mother Nature. There also are stations to get food to feed the animals like the chicken, duck and fish. Also, when you enter the botanical garden, they give you a wristband that allows you to leave and re-enter for the day which is great especially because there are a couple of fun places with activities and restaurants right in the same area as the garden!!
