| - What. An. Incredible. Park. Beautiful baseball diamonds, multiple soccer fields, volleyball courts, ramadas available via reservation, and a wonderful expanse of grass to run around enjoy the beautiful Phoenix weather.
This park seriously is huge and there is a multitude of places to park. If you're overzealous like me, you'll probably try to park right away. But if you're trying to avoid a 15 minute walk to find your friends, take your time and make sure you navigate the different parking lots to find the closest one. The baseball diamonds have parking right next to them, same with the soccer fields, and the other common areas.
I was meeting a group of friends to play wiffle ball and have a picnic on a pleasant Saturday, and we did not know that we had to reserve various picnic spots/ramadas. Make sure you do that at http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/parks/reservations. This way you can be sure you won't be kicked out. There are tons of places to hang out though, and we ended up just finding an area by the water that was open and had free tables. It was definitely enough space to play wiffle ball, football, soccer, frisbee, or anything else!
Just to really let you inner child out, there are ducks usually in the water and we saw a super cute kid feeding them. It's probably not the best idea to do that/not really allowed, but hey, kids will be kids.
