Flatiron Community Park — Attraction in Apache Junction

The park itself seems like a good place for outdoor events. Parking was just across the street behind some businesses. They had a 3 stall women's bathroom with an adjoining men's bathroom 🚻. There was a nice water bottle refill station and drinking fountain between. Not hilly and no steps. Easy for motorized wheelchairs.

We were here today for a blues and bruise and arts festival.. They had a great lineup of music of music, and a variety of food trucks and vendors. There were several areas of port a potties in addition to the permanent bathrooms.
