Maryvale Park — Attraction in Phoenix

This is my local park. Next to Palo Verde library and the Maryvale post office as well as a school it's somewhat hidden from most traffic and is frequented by a fairly large homeless population but they tend to be there very early or very late. They do sleep in the park every night. I often see children playing there as well as some football games in season. There is a baseball field as well with bathrooms that remain locked unless events are scheduled. The community center and pool are also there. It would be a perfect location if the homeless situation could be helped, they could use some food and water and something to sleep on...

The side walk shows artwork I liked and the pool was an overwhelming reminder of my 8 years as a dolphin for maryvale 85-91 swimming 92 diving (also there are now lightning conductor light poles radiotransponder satalite on poles)and the hospital across the road is open again after more than a year work. I think it was relaxing to find the news of first images of blackhole while lyeing in the park. ...

Couldn't take my kids to play. There were homeless all over the playground, even inside the slide area. The gentleman in the city truck passed by but maybe there was nothing he could do about it. They approach you to use your phone. I feel bad but my kids were scared. Maybe put a sign up if you don't have a child you're not aloud in the park. Nevada has these signs all over the playground. Pictures are 2...
