Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near Tempe

Gary S. • April 14, 2011Climb up to the top here. It's a great hike and you'll feel invigorated. There's a great view of the city from the top, so it's worth it. Plus, it makes you have some ASU pride

Caroline H. • November 13, 2013Great place for a run or even grabbing lunch and setting up a picnic!

Ryan S. • January 13, 2017Great place for kids of all ages - massive playground. It also has an awesome pond to walk around or fish at.

Jim L. • May 20, 2015The wildflower season rebounded a bit, but with unseasonably reasonable weather, great place to see everything. Keep your eyes and feet on the trails. A teddy-bear cholla is not fun to hug..

The Nick Bastian Team -. • June 7, 2013Tons of great Summer ( indoor ) activities for kids. Soccer, basketball etc.

Christopher H. • September 27, 2012This is a great park, but it doesn't have the best lighting so the fields can be a little dim for nighttime football.

Kathleen Q. • August 17, 2012Grab a coffee and a book and hang out here in the spring or fall. If you sit out here any other time of year you should probably reassess your life choices.
