It can be quite swampy at times. Could have mud wrestling parties or extreme frizbe fun here. Couple areas to relax with a bbq grill and picnic tables/ water fountains. This place seems to have the usual neighborhood residents, getting a healthy stroll in, in the morning. Lots of care/work goes into keeping this place nice.. but I think it needs alot more trees, more trash cans, more benches, better markers/map for disc golf. I'd like to see something for animals here, domestic and wild.. All sorts of wondering bird life visit here. I've seen a crane, stork, swans, harks, geese, ducks and all sorts of smaller normal and rarer types. Canal bridge collects trash and should be cleaned regularly. The fields behind was all farmlands and now being turned in housing. Not sure if we will still have this nature...

I have been walking and playing this park for over 12 years now, mostly on the end of the canal in 75th and Camelback. It has a great path for exercise and playing Pokemon Go. It is great for viewing the canal as there are fish and ducks lurking in it. Unbelievably there was even turtles and even a crane that came for a month. I wish the park had improvements like a basketball field and maybe even put a art attraction. I always bring friends over to have some fun and it's a friendly...
