I don't know what's not to love about this park. It really is an oasis in the middle of Chandler. Truly a sanctuary! I came here for a Photo-shoot with a model and it was fantastic. A lot of great areas to shoot up until after sunset. I came out with some great shots, I particularly loved the waterfalls over the rocks. I had no problem bringing my tripod reflector holder/stand. There was tons of room and great light from 6-7:45pm
I barely tapped the surface of this park as it is quite large! It was too hot to venture too far but I can imagine in cooler weather seeing more of it and making a whole day out of it with friends or family.
It seems great for a lot of things aside from those looking to fish, you can picnic there are several ramadas with grills. You can bird watch, take photos, exercise, or just relax.
I didn't even venture to the nature center yet as I was on a photo shoot but I will certainly be going back soon!
The best part is that it is free!
The only negative thing I have to say about this place is be wary of the red ants, they seem to be quite ramped on the ground and some of the tables. Watch yourself if you plan on sitting on the ground, I actually wouldn't. I would bring folding chairs. I won't take off stars for this because it's nothing the park could really do about it as it is a nature preserve.
As with any place in Arizona make sure to bring a lot of water with you, one small bottle is just not enough! A hat is also important and of course sun block and a snack.
I posted two photos I took with my phone.
