I love this man made lake! Been to the July 4th firework show, Christmas Boat Parade, and on a few dates with my husband. Tempe can sure put on a firework show. They say that there are thousands of people that come out here for the events, but when you are down there in the middle of it, it sure doesn't feel like it. It never feels crowded. This place is always clean and they have semi good security.
