Perry Park — Attraction in Phoenix

I don't know what this park used to be like, but it's currently a place where homeless people lay scattered about. That itself wouldn't bother me because they're mostly quiet and respectful just trying to take a safe nap, but there is also a lot of drug use. Walking through the grass I saw used/empty paraphernalia here and there, enough that I wouldn't allow children to wander around because you don't know what they might see or pick up. I have nothing against homeless people, but I have a problem with junkies, especially if they aren't respectful enough to clean up after themselves in a place intended for families with children. 2 stars because there's potential for it to be...

The park isnt what it used to be, it is cleaned up a little better but its just run down. I took my son there once to play and wont be back again. We played on the basketball courts as well and you couldn't even see the lines on the court barely. I think it's time to clean it up and make it look nice, turn it around or use all the land for something worth going to. What happened to all the nice parks where my son can play without signs of illegal things being done there. The city should invest a little money into the old park's and maybe gate them better so our children have a safe place to play again! Just some feedback...

Okay yes homeless people are here at the park, but they honestly are so respectful and leave you alone. Why we may ask? Mm...🤔 Maybe because they are still Human beings! BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER!! ❤️❤️

Anyways I give this park a 5/5 honestly it's nice, quite and they have the COLDEST water fountain!!! 🙏🙏🥶 I am not lying, it was 110 outside I ran out of water🤦🏽‍♀️ saw this park and instantly found the water fountain OMG within 2.5seconds I had water like it just came out the freezer at home 🥶❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏 THIS IS WHAT THE CITY OF PHX SHOULD DO FOR US ARIZONANS!!! SUPER COLD WATER...
