Francisco Highland Park — Attraction in Phoenix

Nice place to walk your dog or for kids to play, with parking for about 20 cars. The lot fills up when people have parties and people just park on the street which is not very busy. There are two ramadas with metal picnic style benches. They're mostly dirty and used by people smoking pot after dark. People that have parties don't usually clean up after themselves either.

Theres also a canal located in the back of this park. Stunning...
