    Huge park with 3 playgrounds, a pond with a bunch of duckies, lots of green grass and a doggy area. I have loved coming here for years! Watching the ducks has always been my favorite part. It's also a great spot for my PoGo players!

    Great park. My granddaughter and I spent a half day here (her choice for her and I's Me-Time. We were blessed with a perfect Arizona day and she played and played and played. Lots of other children (and parents and grandparents like me) so they just all had a blast with each other. It was an excellent day and I was impressed with how the older kids helped push the youngers on swings and the Merry-Go-Round. (Hey... I did my share of pushing too!) The park is well maintained and clean.

    This park is a very beautiful park to bring your family. It's well maintained and clean. The splash pad turns off at 8pm and turns on at 10am. Also the water park does smell like urine from time to time. Friendship Park offers baseball fields, soccer fields, 3 kids parks, 4 restroom facilities, basketball court, football field and tennis court. Cool thing is Friendship Park even has a doggie park. Friendship park has a pond to go fishing or to just watch the ducks and there are plenty of walking trails. The park can get crowded at times. So watch your kids for crazies.

    A park that mostly has everything. But went to feed the ducks and there were plastic bags in the water. I would of got them out but I could not reach them. Used the dog park and that was great for my dog but people should learn to pick up after their dogs and don't leave broken toys. Throw them away. Cleaned up after other dogs also to keep it look8ng good for the next Person.

    We had a great time, lots of friendly people. We fed the ducks, of course, and that, family and a great BBQ, it was a fun afternoon. Lots of trash cans available, clean bathrooms and area all around was clean. Good job to the groundskeepers!!

    Cute, quaint park. It’s pretty big with a nice pond and many walking areas, parking, soccer fields, baseball, basketball, volleyball, 2 huge playgrounds for kids, a dog park, many benches and bbq areas, fishing is allowed at the pond as well and 3 bathrooms. Definitely really calm and nice for a quick walk or run

    The park is amazing, it has a basketball court and tennis 🎾 courts…..we LOVE it and I’ve been coming here for years BUT I’ve just used the restroom for the first time and I was horrified!!! One of the women’s restrooms has no toilet seat and the bathroom was DIRTY and puddles on the floor (of urine?! Not sure)!!!!!!! So I’m deducting 2 stars …. The bathroom by the splash pad needs to be remodeled and then this park would be perfect!!!

    Real nice park but online says fishing. We drove 35 min only to be told they killed off the fish. Ummm what!! There were so many reeds in the water that fishing would be all but impossible anyway. There was a big crowd having a party under the pavilion and they were having a blast so if that's what you want to do then this is your park. Fun for the kids and a way to cool off at the splash pad. We found a dinosaur in the wood chips and hid him in a tree. Go find him. 😉

    Everything that is in the park is upkept better than any other I have seen. My kids are so exited we play on all the new equipment and the musical addition is such a wonderful touch and most of the time the shade is sufficient the bathroom has toilet paper.

    This was a beautiful expiernce. Went here to meditate in the grass and I got more than I bargained for..the only pics that I pulled in close were the ones of the water and baby ducks..the others were definitely up close and personal. Once a week I will be visiting and making it my weekly ritual just to be with Mother Nature

    Nice park. Lots of areas for different activities. Playground, open fields and even fishing. The restrooms were relatively clean for a public park.

    Took my 2 grandkids to burn off some extra energy. They had a great time! There were swings and many other obstacles for them to keep them entertained, we stayed close to an hour. The park was filled with kids having the best time. They do have ramada's to have personal parties. It is a great place to picnic and spend the day with your friends and family.

    Beautiful park where you can feed ducks, play soccer. Tennis, basketball, and football. There are 3 different play grounds. They also have a sash pad in the summer time. They have a few softball diamonds. Decent bathroom amenities.

  • 5/5 Kristy L. 3 months ago on Google • 21 reviews New
    We love this park there are several parks to choose from and tons of soccer fields to play at. There is a pond as well as basketball courts and even a dog park. The Ramadas to rent are super affordable as well compared to other parks that I was looking into.

  • 5/5 Mauricio B. 10 months ago on Google
    Took the kids to the splash pad here. There's plenty of parking and easy access in and out of the place. The kids had plenty of fun. There's also a spot behind the splash pad/water area to grill and also benches. Great place to cool off on a hot day.

    Very beautifully designed park. Great for walking your friendly pet animals and see the ducks and geese by the lake. Also stop by and relax near the open green and luscious grass... amazing place to read and book and write my poems/songs.

  • 5/5 Michael San P. 6 months ago on Google
    This park is the most beautiful most large happy fun place I wish I had growing up as a kid. Full of laughter happiness, you're able to play baseball football, doctor exercise. It's clean, you can have a party events there. I mean, it's everything you can see ducks go fishing and it's awesome. Until I gotta say, absolutely awesome absolutely awesome.

    The park is really nice, and clean. It just the place we book, was double book, and we have to move to another place. But kids love playing with the water 💧

  • 4/5 Kathryn F. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a pretty nice park in the city. Basketball courts, fields, a few different, small playgrounds, a splash pad, and park benches and picnic tables. Restrooms, and a small pond with ducks and geese. Parking is sufficient. I did notice a handful of people loitering and sleeping on benches.

  • 5/5 Suzanne C. 10 months ago on Google
    Clean and open walking trails with many options for family time.. shaded picnic table area, basketball &tennis courts, pond and playgrounds ..something for everyone to enjoy!

  • 5/5 Josie 1 year ago on Google
    This park is totally awesome! I'd recommend it to anyone or any age really. I have now been to this park atleast 3x since my first visit. The kids always have a blast and ASK to come to friendship park. I live in phx but make the trip to Tolleson/Avondale just to bring the children to a safer more clean park. I feel safe at this park with my kids as aposed to others... Restrooms are clean... Also multiple jungle gyms.. bulletin board near restrooms you can find community classes or even a resource/emergency list for homeless or crisis. Which I can greatly appreciate. Basketball court is near by also a splash pad in the summer(seems minimal). Covered picnic area is spacey and kept clean also has grills. WOULD BE A AWESOME PARK FOR A KIDS BIRTHDAY OR ANY CELEBRATION.

    I have to admit I was not sold about this place when I first learned about it. We went to try it today and they impressed me. Everything was fresh and delicious. There salad was amazing and the waffles were delicious with ice cream.
