I was pretty excited when I first heard of this oasis in the desert. This park has a ton of shade and palm trees and the waterways help to make it seem cool and relaxing. You can fish and rent paddleboats for the water. Feeding the ducks and geese is also fun. There is also a playground for the kids and the Enchanted Island Amusement Park that caters to children. In the amusement park is also a carousel and some arcade games. I really enjoy taking the children to Encanto Park to get outdoors. It seems that even in the summer, this would be a great place to go for the shade.
