| - When I finally visited this park, it was to scope out the dog park. It's the only off-leash area in downtown Phoenix. I was amazed at the size of the actual park. And I loved the water features. Took a bunch of friends there for a bike ride/picnic while it was still nice outside, and we had a great time. I haven't really checked out the playground area, so I don't know how much fun it is. All that being said, I have to agree that the dog park portion of the park is, indeed, "ghetto." There's no grass, not enough shade, and dog dookie all over the place. My biggest beef was the un-neutered male dogs who tried to hump my spayed female. That was lots of fun for both of us (NOT). And since I have a dog at home, not kids, and I don't fish, this park gets a fairly low rating from me. I may still ride my bike or walk through there, but I'll never subject my dog to irresponsible pet owners again. If they don't spay/neuter, who knows whether they even immunize or prevent parasites?
