  • 5/5 Ravikant A. 10 months ago on Google
    It’s an amazing park nearby. Best place for evening walks, multiple designated pathways with enough exercise n sitting benches on the way. It has huge kids play area with lots of swings n slides. Also there’s a big baseball ground, basketball court. Ample parking spots and enough lights in the evening.

    I love this park. It's clean, has bathrooms, and has a great play ground for the little ones. Not to mention, it's right next to a police station! So we definitely feel safe here. Absolutely love it. One of our favorites for sure.

    Great space. Beautiful neighborhood. This park is currently undergoing some renovations so there is a bit of a mess with that but looks like it's worth it!

    The park is nice and somewhat clean. The police department however is one of those who are bored and will go and scout out for anything to do which puts pressure on the environment.

    Really spacious park! Two baseball fields, volleyball & basketball court, track for circuit training, etc. There's only 1 water fountain, so be sure to pack your own water. Lots of little prairie dogs running around; so cute!

    Great to sit and enjoy a picnic on the grass. Not too big like other parks in Phoenix, but still has some nice paths to walk. Great to fly a knit

  • 5/5 Bob 2 years ago on Google
    I love this park. It's surrounded by a neighborhood that couldn't be more beautiful. Lots of nice people, lots of dogs, grass and trees. It's also a great place for children or to watch baseball, soccer, football, etc. Easy parking. I LOVE the police station that's next to it. If you enjoy getting out for some peace and relaxing stroll then I'm sure you'll enjoy this as one of your favorites.

    Desert Horizon Park is a delightful oasis of outdoor enjoyment. Its vast open spaces are perfect for a game of catch or simply basking in the sunshine. The playgrounds are a haven for kids, full of laughter and activity, while the communal charcoal grills and basketball courts add a communal, friendly vibe. The park's cleanliness and safety are notable, creating a welcoming environment for all visitors. It's definitely a place I look forward to visiting again, a true gem for leisure and recreation.

    Desert Horizon Park is great! It's got lots of open space and cool playgrounds. Perfect for kids to play and have fun. They have benches for parents to relax, too. The park is clean, and there are nice walking paths. I visited with my family, and we had a blast. It's an excellent park for a day of outdoor enjoyment.

  • 5/5 Justin B. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 BB_ L. 1 year ago on Google
    Really pretty park and the Grandkids had a wonderful time!

  • 5/5 Domenic s. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park for kids and even adults. The playground equipment is great and large enough that the kids don't board. There is a full court basketball court, volleyball net and lots of pavilions to sit and eat at. For the adults there is a walking/running path with body weight exercises, to get a full workout in.

  • 5/5 Rachel I. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful open space park with a playground, beach volleyball and lots of space to run around. I love that this park is right near the police department and has bathrooms and a beautiful baseball diamond.

  • 5/5 KeepFaith L. 1 year ago on Google
    Me and my son love going to this park!! We have been going here since he was a year old, he is 6 now! He loves it. We just wish there was a bathroom here, so we don't have to run to the store or a family or friend who lives near by lol

  • 5/5 Nancy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely park for a walk, especially popular with dog owners. It's clean, has bathrooms and plenty of parking.

  • 3/5 Phyllis L. 2 years ago on Google
    Park playground, baseball fields Bb courts are nice. Grass area filled with small Prairie dogs and holes. Can't safely run in grass due to risk of twisting ankle in these holes. Likely germy as well. Have complained but no improvements by city.

  • 3/5 Carpincho 1 year ago on Google
    This park has better and more mature trees than most of the parks I know with exception of Roadrunner recreational park. Good for casual sport activities like football soccer.

  • 5/5 Kristen N. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice grassy and level areas for walking.

  • 5/5 P K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park for all ages. Lots of space for any activity and good lighting at night for sports and the playground for the kids. Especially like in the playground there is a lot of sand but close to the toddlers play area there is water the kids can use for building sandcastles or whatever. This park also has a Phoenix Police station attached and is located in a quiet neighborhood.

  • 4/5 Julie N. 4 years ago on Google
    Small and friendly, safe with a police station next door!

  • 5/5 Abigail D. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Archimedes O. 4 years ago on Google
    The park is large. It has several 'green" belt areas. It has ball diamond. Cricket. Soccer fields, there is also avery nice children's play area. The park is located next to a police station. I wish more parks were that close, to a precinct. I felt very safe. There were several people walking dogs, all were friendly and dogs well controlled. There were teenagers on skateboards and hoverboards. It was a lot of fun.

  • 5/5 Heidi S. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 ELC 4 years ago on Google
    This is a lovely park in a comfortable and safe area. There are benches along sidewalks and covered picnic areas as well as those out of the shelters. There are two different playground equipment areas. One for little children and one for slightly bigger kids. It was a wonderfully cool February day so it was so pleasant. We brought the grandkids and they had a blast.

  • 2/5 Becca S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great park for sports. The equipment is definitely in NEED of renovation

  • 5/5 DJ R. 3 years ago on Google
    Went for a moonlight walk around the perimeter of the park for exercise. Few people were there so practiced social distancing. It is near a police station so pretty safe even at night and well lit. It is one mile around. While still in the nineties temperature wise, it was comfortable even for our dog. Bring water for yourself and your pet.

  • 4/5 Katrina D. 4 years ago on Google
    Cute park near the police station. They keep it clean and there's son's tons of space to do a lot of different things. The playground equipment is pretty well kept. Sometimes it takes a long time to be replaced. There's usually a decent crowd. Pretty good park overall.

  • 5/5 Ramachandra S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice and quiet park. Has decent Activity to make it vibrant but not too much to make it crowded or noisy. Decent restrooms too. Adjacent to a police station which probably is in its favor as we have never seen any shady charactera around.

  • 5/5 Michael C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great park! Bathrooms in close proximity, lights at night for the ball fields and grass in watered to keep it soft, free of twitch or weeds. Love this park for my son’s baseball practices.

  • 5/5 Leah P. 4 years ago on Google
    This is our neighborhood park, so we're here often. There is so much space to spread out and explore. We live to bring bikes or scooters, basketball, baseball and explore the dirt hills over by the bridge. That doesn't even include the playground! Sufficient bathrooms and easy parking make it the perfect place to play!
