Large sprawling green park in the heart of Phoenix - a welcoming network of gentle walking paths, large areas of open grass to play, winding channels of water to fish and feed birds/ducks, and multiple walking bridges over the channels. There is a large playground for kids, an outhouse with public restrooms, and a building that sells some snacks as well as bird food and tickets for paddle boats. Probably the most memorable activity is feeding the birds - they are quite a bit more plentiful and aggressive than other parks, be prepared to be swarmed - the pigeons will land on your arms if you let them! Be weary feeding the birds around very small kids.

What a beautiful park! Palm trees, water, ducks, and open grass make this a gathering spot. There’s easy parking and lots of trails. There’s even an island with a kids amusement park on it.

The park is a great place to escape the concrete jungle. This is a great place to run or jog around anytime of the day and there is lakes flowing through the entire area. I would recommend this place for those who want a more nature like vibe near them.

Such a fun place to be on the weekend. Feels safe. Family oriented. I first visit on February 13th, 2021 the weather was windy and a little chilly. Bring a jacket or long sleeves layer. Check the weather before you head out. Looking for an inexpensive date night or a quality picnic time with loved one/s this would be the hot spot. Parking lot are plenty. Enjoy!

Wow! Such a beautiful park and great place to relax. It's like a hidden oasis in the centre of Phoenix. The palm trees, lakes and Island make it quite a special place of calm and beauty. When visiting or if you live locally then I can highly recommend.

This is actually my favorite park in Phoenix! It's gorgeous, has different little amenities like the park for your kids, multiple picnic areas, restrooms, and you can fish here too! Enchanted island is right over the bridge also.

Great place to go for picnic, skating, walking, running… basically anything outdoors. A lot of open space to enjoy an afternoon or an evening. There is a lake where you can rent pedal boats and navigate around. I don’t do golf but the golf course looks very nice.

Fun place to take the kids. My son had a blast with all the rides and activities. So many rides to choose from. Nice hidden gem!

Beautiful park and an excellent place for many family fun activities. Please make sure to pick up after yourselves when you visit however it didn't seem that there was much staff there to maintain park cleanliness.

There is an island of rats and someone painted a drawing of the rats running on one of the bridges overall it a very nice park

This park is really pretty. Was visiting family from out of town and had time to stop here. The blue water... the bridges. All beautiful. Was sad seeing so much garbage in the water though. People really do suck. The bathrooms were also pretty dirty. Doors didn't latch shut. Grim and garbage piled up in there also. And maybe putting some texture down on pathways would be good as it was raining when I visited and the pathways were super slippery. May avoid future issues with a layer of sand/concrete mix.

Fun for the whole family plenty of open space for social distancing nice picnic aera, bicycle and roller skating a small theme park and nice place for a walk 🚶‍♂️

HUGE Park with lots of shade and water! Fishing, playground, Amusement Park,Etc. No way anyone of any age wouldn't find something fun to do here. Restrooms are well kept usually

I've heard of this park...but haven't visited until today and I've been here for 4 years. A cute little gem. It's a huge park next to a golf course. It's got a huge pond in the middle, and you can rent a boat and paddle around. Alot of people come here to host bbq. Parking is limited. But I believe you can street park.

Oh, where to even begin... Well, first of all, at noon on a holiday (President's Day) the west parking lot was full; on the contrary, the south parking lot had lots of parking, so that wasn't an issue. Secondly, we paid $25 per person for an all day pass (which we stayed for 5 hours) for unlimited access to rides. Thirdly, the Amusement Park was not overly busy, but busy enough for my two kiddos to socialize and play with a variety of other kids their age, and the wait lines were short and quick (if any). Furthermore, the place was fairly clean, but be aware of bees throughout the Park. Lastly, the staff was welcoming with a positive attitude -- much appreciated, ty. Overall, we had a wonderful first time experience here.

Wonderfully enchanting Park and the duck geese river is must see. Most especially when the waterfall fountains begin to flow Remind me of the magical parks developed in the ancient Italian Cities, when I was a child. And they also have a most magnificent miniature railroad system. For all children, young and old to enjoy. Highly recommended ?????

Beautiful place to relax with family and friends. Have a picnic, feed the ducks, go fishing, ride and play. Its beautiful

Me and my friends always go over there just hung out for fun

(Translated by Google) There are many rats and a painting of a rat running on the bridge next to where the rats are, but it is a very nice park and it is a lot of fun to go! (Original) hay muchas ratas y una pintura de una rata corriendo en el puente al lado de donde están las ratas, ¡pero es un parque muy bonito y es muy divertido ir!

Very few places to sit down needs Improvement restroom facilities senior facilities and more than anything else lots of more trees

Have fun feeding the ducks. Great family bbq's on weekends

This is one of the greatest public parks in Phoenix. Fishing, swimming pool, riding boat and more to play and watch. A good place to chill.

Clean park with so many opportunities to have fun. You can fish, go on paddle boats, golf, picnic, or enjoy the small amusement park

Huge rambling green park in the core of Phoenix - an inviting organization of delicate strolling ways, enormous areas of open grass to play, twisting channels of water to fish and take care of birds/ducks, and various strolling spans over the channels. There is a huge jungle gym for youngsters, a latrine with public bathrooms, and a structure that sells a few bites as well as bird food and tickets for paddle boats. Presumably the most noteworthy movement is taking care of the birds - they are a lot more copious and forceful than different parks, be ready to be amassed - the pigeons will arrive on your arms in the event that you let them! Be exhausted taking care of the birds around tiny children.

Had a lot of childhood memories here but if you want a true experience of nature don't come here. Go to a real lake with real nature. Arizona is too beautiful to be spending time at a manmade park like this. It's overrated. It's not enchanting, really.

Went to fish and neice was the only one to catch..there were a few guys down who caught plenty..it was our first time. It's a very nice park.🌱🌹🏜🏝🎢🛝🎠

Awesome spot for a break from the usual grind. While the amusement park has a limited number of rides, it's just right for a fun weekend afternoon with the kids. My son, a train enthusiast, had a blast riding the train multiple times—it was spot on!

Park is nice and green, restrooms are locked due to COVID. There is a ton of waterfowl everywhere so watch where you step. The enchanted village is closed as are many of the walking paths.

Very pretty little walk around the lake. Best time to come around 7 to 8am when it's nice and cool outside. My dog loved seeing all the ducks and geese.

I love this park so much i dont even care if nosey people watch you and stare without saying hello its peaceful its safe no one bothers you

Wish there be more police on site and less drugs around family's enjoying days having the bathroom open for people at the park

A wonderful location for young families, with children to explore. We happen to pick the best day of the year: completely overcast, very cool temps, very easy parking (our vehicle was the only one, awesome), very few families / people were present (perfect), many photos were taken with no one in the background or photo bombing us. I took photos with my cell phone and they came out perfect, especially with lots of overcast. We were there for 2019 Thanksgiving Day. So pretty the park was with so very few people. Lots of ponds, birds trees, even pomegranates bushes too, sure enjoyed eating those as well, that was a treat. Fed the Pigeons some of the pomegranates, they loved it. Our three grandkids were really amazed at such a pretty place, but we picked one of the best times to go though.

I liked it nice and chill good for fishing and the kids have fun great place to chill

Very clean and welcoming park to go whit kids and see the ducks in the lake.

It is a nice park,

Love this park ....been fishing a few times haven’t caught a thing but still a really nice park .

Excelente lugar para caminar y pasar el tiempo

Gasss

This has been great to go for a walk, relax and read outdoors with almost nobody around, so keeping social distancing is not hard. Enjoyable to see the hummingbirds, swan, geese and ducks passing by.

The geese, ducks and pigeons are so friendly!

Empty

Got bitten by ants but the park was pleasant

Lots of fishy smells coming from the ponds. The park was still very nice. Children playing and people using the walking paths. Come at night.

Beautiful park, great for Pokémon GO

Vary relaxation with nature with fresh air

Generally speaking this park is clean, well-maintained and safe for daytime leisure. The duck population is a and their sports fields are good for even very large groups. As with any metropolitan Park, the homeless population is only exceeded by the pigeon population. Occasionally the flood irrigation can cause a small too. I would not recommend going at night without a firearm.

Just wanted to get away from isolation and enjoy the outside. Been here many times, never had a problem.

Great park for everything. Plenty of space to have bbqs and family gatherings. Perfect for morning walks.

NICEEEEEEE park ....just need a little T.L.C...☺

Nice

Really lovely park with bridges and waterfalls

Good place to hangout and get some excercise in.

Beautiful and peaceful

(Translated by Google) Very nice to spend time with children, friends, family (Original) Muy agradable para pasar el tiempo con los niños, amigos, familia

(Translated by Google) I didn't give it five stars because all the bathrooms were closed. (Original) No le di cinco estrellas por que estaban cerrados todos los baños.

I like it

We love walking around as a family and seeing the ducks ... its really nice

To bad for covid but was nice to walk in park and swing on swings lol like was a kid again

Beautiful park in the heart of Phoenix with waterfalls, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a sports complex. If you're looking for some fresh air, make your way to Encanto Park! Oh, and there is also a small amusement park for the kiddos! The park covers a large area, so I recommend downloading the app, Avem. It'll help you find all Encanto Park amenities.

Gorgeous surroundings, fun rides, mean ducks, it has it all!

Beautiful, well maintained and family friendly.

Wonderful place it's very Serene and comforting watching the Ducks and everything I really enjoyed my time at Encanto Park

(Translated by Google) It is a good place to hang out (Original) Es un buen lugar para pasar el rato

Plenty of parking and lots of ducks!

It beautiful

Nice for walking alone or with dogs

Beautiful park with many activities to do for the whole family!

Simply beautiful ..surrounded with water with ducks your little ones can enjoy feeding...play area for kids and enough lawn and walking/running/cycling space too for all ages to enjoy! Perfect to spend few hours ..especially during the day.. looking forward to our next visit..😊

Great time at Encanto park. It'd been one of the best historic parks in the valley for decades. The kids never get tired of the water fowl or the train.

Me and my kids want to be here in the evenings to get fresh air in a nice walk after being in the house

I liked it but the geese were chasing me and the bathroom were disgusting. I bet they rarely get cleaned. There was water all over the floor and I couldn't use the soap because there was a cage around it. I would give this a 2 and a half if I could. You guys should clean your bathrooms and feed the geese and birds.

Great place for clean family fun or just a peaceful place to meditate.

Great place to let kids be kids. It's very peaceful with the river and waterfall. There are lots of spaces for a picnic, or playground to entertain little ones. There are water fountains and bathrooms when needed.

I love the boat and amusement park area that's open on weekends!

Encanto park, will always be enchanted park to me. ♥️I appreciate the fact it hasn't changed much over the years, unlike so much of the development in PHX, which felt they must change. I have plenty of good memories here with people who matter.

This park is beautiful. First time being here. I didn't even know it existed until now. I'm so glad my love brought me here because I plan on coming back & riding the paddle boats & the kiddie train with her. Or else we'll be bringing the bikes over here to ride around. This reminds me of a park in San Antonio. We ate our Cheba Hut dinner on the park benches & picnic tables had a nice family day together.

It was pretty quite all around us. But there were other families throughout the park. Nice Sunset!

Love this place. Perfect for walks with children

Encanto Park is referred to as "The Park" all other parks are called by name of the park. The title of Encanto is misinterpreted to mean Enchanted it was taken from Greek latin and not Spanish translation. The Park was established in 1936 on land owned by the Norton family. Videos made there at night indicate the possibility that the park is haunted. The Encanto area is the wealthiest in the State, during WW II gold was rumored to have been melted down into bars and hidden somewhere in or near Encanto Park, it is further rumored the spirit of Mr. Norton goes through the park to check to make sure the gold bars are still safely hidden, only another urban myth.

Nice park for a variety of activities.

Park is good just no tables for the covid situation other than that ok on my part.

(Translated by Google) It makes me a very nice park (Original) Se me hace un parque muy lindo

Great place to go and distract yourself a bit

Very nice and very popular. Check out the Rose garden across the street.

Beautiful park all around. Had walking paths around the lake here. Large park as well, has two different parking areas one on each side of the park. A nice place to spend time with the family or enjoying a walk around the lake.

Fun there to

Beatiful, relaxing and alta of ducks, goose,etc.

It's really nice this time of year..grandkids had a blast feeding the ducks..

(Translated by Google) Good place to spend with the whole family, very beautiful, I like this park, greetings friends (Original) Buen lugar para pasar con toda la familia muy bonito me gusta este parque.saludos amigos

Best park in Phoenix

Recommendable

Best park. N nice views

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) Very good place to have fun with the family. Stress free 👍 (Original) Muy buen lugar para divertirse con la familia. Stress free 👍

Amazing place!

Very beautiful and quiet place to enjoy the day.

(Translated by Google) It is a vastly pleasant place and children can be entertained by many beautiful things that it has (Original) Es un lugar vastante agradable y los niños se pueden entretener con muchas cosas bonitas que tiene

Unlike the first time that I returned to encanto's park, fish were not biting today. I did stage my gear down and set up for trout with no luck, but there's plenty of small beef fish in the water that wasn't impressive.

(Translated by Google) very well (Original) Muy bien

They need to open restrooms 🚻....

A nice place to go eat for peace and quiet

Have had four generations of fun there.

Great place for a stroll, or have a B-Day party. You can rent a paddle pontune and take the kids for a spin around the park

So pretty

Very nice, small park for activities and strolling. Amusement park available aswell

Enjoyed the weather and view.

Omg it's so nice out almost normal kids laughing n playing

This place is beautiful, and if you play Pokemon GO like me you can immediately see that this spot is the place to be, with over a dozen Pokestops to walk around too. Not to mention, it's a nice walk around when the weather's nice!

Beautiful park. These Canadian geese seem to tourists but theyre still with us.. They're amazing and so is the white duck. But please NO FISHING..

On this time it was a little bit duty , but still a great place to visit.

A great place to take in beauty & have fun. With the ponds, play area, amusement parks, & walking trail every individual and family is due to find something to meet their needs. The park is well maintained & the community shares it well. Lots of shady areas too!

This place is so beautiful with all kinds of things to do to basketball, to tennis, playground a pool. With beautiful canal and ducks, great place to bring your kids and family and friends.

Huge park! Big, beautiful shade trees and plenty of grass and picnic spots for everyone. There is a duck pond that encircles another "island" area of the park, which is bridged and accessible to roam. Great place to meditate, bicycle, BBQ, and catch some shade!

It's a nice park, but the city really needs to chase away the pot smokers. Smells aweful. It's better during midday though. Lots of kids to play with, and our kids really enjoy feeding the ducks, geese, and pigeons!

Kids adore feeding the ducks. We always pack a lunch and have a picnic here. The restrooms are so clean and there are so many tables to sit on offered every which way. Not transient congested at all. Always something going on here. Ducks are main attraction. Great park.

I’m here for the first time! This place is big and has great potential but needs more attention with remodeling. But great place for families with kids. I took really nice walk around!

Great place to walk the dog and watch the ducks. There are so many spots to get a great picture. Walking paths and bridges with big open grass fields. You can rent out sections of the park for parties. We see people fishing all the time, and if you have kids, Encanto Park has Enchanted island? (I could be wrong about the name) in the same parking lot. No entry fee. Just pay per ride. They also have a train ride and paddle boats.

My kids had a great time here. I was surprised about the ducks because it turned out that they are cute in real life.

Really nice park to Walk around. Check out the amusement park for the little ones and ride the train or take a walk and hop on a paddle boat to float around and see the park. The kids and I really like getting some duck feed from the boat shop and tossing it to the birds around the park. It’s always a good day at Encanto Park with lots of fun an things to do and enjoy!

I've always loved Encanto Park, so much memories. I was so happy this past weekend when I created new memories, we had a Family Reunion n it was great!

Beautiful park! The weather was perfect too.. Was supposed to go to a flag football game and got lost with my husband, niece, and daughter, lol.. what a beautiful place to be lost at. I ended up missing the game and just taking pictures and walking around for a bit with them. There was a train and little boats you could take on the river that went through the park too. I wish I took more pictures.
