Wonderful water wildlife area for a nature walk. All kinds of ducks, birds, rabbits and other creatures. Is my best place for a walk.

This is a wonderful place to escape city life and walk, run, bicycle or find a bench to relax and enjoy the wildlife.

Beautiful place. Great for picture taking, as well as wildlife spotting! Plenty of walking trails, there’s a little park for kids. They also have a sitting area for picnics. While we were there parking was pretty packed, but there is probably enough parking most of the time.

Love this place. Come here for a nice stroll filled with rabits, turtles, ducks and more. Beautiful views at sunset over the small lakes.

Great for bike riding. Watch out for thorns. I usually ride along the south end bike route on concrete. Love the cooler air.

Found this hidden gem by searching up "best spots in Phoenix for photography". Great place to take a walk and/or snapping photos.

Great area that immerses a person in nature in a city environment. Lots of walking and hiking area that are both paved and unpaved. Lots of water areas to view birds and other animals. Cool fishing areas. Pokemon Go friendly as well. There are a lot of Pokestops and several gyms spread throughout the entire place. You can easily spend hours here. The only downfall is the limited parking. You most likely will have to find parking at the nearby library.

The Riparian Preserve is a great place to spend part of or the whole day exploring. There are a lot birds and other creatures to marvel at. Today my daughter and I came across quail, rabbits, pelicans, and other birds. Highly recommended if you like being in nature but you don't have to drive too far.

One of the best in town nature walks. Good walking trails, and a serene environment that few East Valley locations could rival.

Its good to feed ducks and fish. You will see people fishing their all the time. Beware of feeding ducks though, you might get surrounded and freak out. Water smells some time. Good for evening walks

We have started making a weekly trip to hike around. And since there are so many animals, we've made a game out of counting the bunnies that we see along the trail

My family loves coming here to count the bunnies and play. I reccomend it highly. The astronomy tower is quite the thrill.

I LOVE this park! The scenery and walks are beautiful with the surrounding ponds filled with wildlife like ducks, geese and birds. There are places to picnic as well. There's an unexpected, AWESOME observatory on the grounds that opens on Friday and Saturday evenings at 6: 30-10 pm to view the Stars and Planets! Also, a great place for photography!

Fantastic place for family or individual pictures. There is desert landscape, water and also lush greenery. It's a peaceful place to walk and pets are welcome.
