    Waterfall near cool bridge
    Andrew C.

    My wife Blanca and I love our community park here in Anthem! Everything green, a few bodies of water with waterfalls and ducks, a nice bridge near one waterfall, plenty of sports facilities like basketball, soccer, baseball, football, or whatever else you want to play for the most part. Plenty of empty space too just to relax and take a load off. It also has two playgrounds. One exclusive for small children like toddlers which is nice. Another for bigger small kids with plenty to climb on and investigate, complete with a nice splash pad. They often have free concerts and other activities going on. Also, a train that runs through part of the park. A tunnel the train goes through is always decked out for the Season like Halloween and Christmas. It's slow but fun and perfect for younger kids and families. Come check it out sometime! They'll have a Autumnfest Arts and Crafts Fair on October 26th & 27th this year.

    Great Park!! Checked in with our God Son and God Daughter today at the park. Our God Son is playing Club Soccer for Yavapai County and we met up with them and their Mom. Soccer game was great! He played awesome! The park is so beautiful and great facilities. Ball fields, soccer fields, Water park and lake. For sure would like to go back and check it all out, looks like a really great place!!

    This is a great local park to visit when you've got kids in tow; there's lots for them to see and do. Tip: There's a Farmer's Market that's held here on Sundays; you might want to plan you visits accordingly. Activities available here include a good number of play areas, and even a splash pad!  There's also a miniature train that runs on the weekends. Whether or not you've got kids in tow, this is a nice place to take a stroll or have a picnic :-)

    Amazing park! Great for all activities. It's very large play structure for kids and adults. Roller hockey arena, skate park, memorial, and much more. There is a train that runs on certain days, so check the website beforehand to plan your visit. There were a couple people fishing the ponds but fairly empty for the most part. Good selection of local eateries nearby, to grab takeout and enjoy in the park. I would not recommend walking to get food, as the road is 4 lanes and very busy. The veterans memorial is a beautiful and reflective place. It is set away from the play areas, surrounded by grassy lawn for lounging. Really a beautiful spot. Our visit was for some family activity. Highly recommended.

    Love anthem park! There's different events happening. Like there's a carnival during fall time and there's a firework show on June 3rd which is beautiful! Also they have a baseball field, volleyball nets, splash pad, a train, ducks in the pond, & so much open space just to walk around. It's so big! This park is beautiful!

    Absolutely Beautiful park! Very clean. Kids rode the train! There is a three story playground. There is a small splash pad and a toddler play ground. Several mini lakes, fishing spots, waterfalls and areas to play sports!! Encountered some nasty mouthed mother's cussing us out over our kids and her kids calling each other names (retard) she made sure to make it a point to come drop F bombs in front of the rest of our kids and harassing us about it. Great way to show your kids how to behave. Cussing out us and our kids all under 12..‍

    Love coming here early in the morning before the big kids run over the little kids. Went on the train today and noticed in the tunnel where the train is stored and drives through, that there are 2 cans of fuel and no fire extinguishers. I would say it's an oversight, but the last 4 weeks that we have come here, it's been the same. Science says this is a recipe for combustion. Please make the appropriate safety changes for the community.

    This is a beautiful park with well kept grounds. There's a train ride for kids and adults that goes around the park and takes about 20 minutes for a small fee. The train and a short tunnel are decorated at Christmas time. There's concessions, fishing, kids big adventure playground, basketball courts, hockey, skate boarding, and Anthem Veterans Memorial monument.

    This playground has a lot of everything: a splash pad, sand area, playground for big & small kids, a train, bathrooms, open field, skate park, and shaded picnic tables.

    When we first moved to AZ, we came to this park to try and ride the Daisy Mountain Railroad. Unfortunately, it was closed. For whatever reason, we never made it back...until today. It was my son Bill's 4th Birthday (as well as my mother in law, too!) today and we decided to drive up and take a train ride. First off, this park is HUGE and really nicely maintained (clean, green grass, nice facilities etc). You could definitely spend a few hours here. Our main purpose was to take a ride on the train, so we did that first. The Daisy Mountain Railroad is a locomotive train that takes you around the park. Cost is $4.00 per person ($3.50 if you are an Anthem resident), and every person above the age of 1 needs a ticket. They also charge a $1.00 fee for paying with a credit card. Kind of lame, but whatever. We bought our tickets and got in line (train leaves every 30 minutes). We grabbed a seat and took the ride around the park. Being a former train driver myself (Santa Barbara Zoo, circa 2000), I appreciated the locomotive and the nice ride around the park. It is just a good old fashioned train ride....no speech or fun facts or anything like that. Goes along at a slow pace, pretty flat for the most part, and does have one tunnel that it goes through. The train ride IS nice and long though. At least a good 10-12 minutes or so. Well worth the $4.00 (They sell discount tickets if you buy in bulk, too!) Highly recommended! After the train, we decided to hang out at one of the kids playgrounds. They have a ton of stuff to play on both for big kids and little ones. I have never seen such big slides at an outdoor playground before. It was good times except for one incident................... There were some sketchy, aloof parents around. Example: There is a clear sign that states no bicycles, scooters etc past a certain point. Well, there was this one little kid with his "dad/adult guardian"? who was racing around on his bike in the prohibited area, and when he would approach you, he would yell either, "Move" or "Get out of the way". No "Excuse me" or "Coming Through". Luckily he only went by us once. If he would have came by a second time and yelled at me while HE was breaking the "rules", I would have hip checked that little fucker into the ground. No manners, no common courtesy, just a little shithead disobeying rules. His adult he was with looked like a douchebag, too. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, right? Anyways.........that's the only negative thing I had to say about the day. Will we be back? Yes! It is a bit of a drive from our house in Surprise, but worth it. If you came during midweek, you would probably have a better time with less crowds. (Not sure if the train only runs on weekends?) It is a very, very nice park and we had a great time!

    FYI: If you're planning to go during the government shutdown, you can't drive all the way to the…read moreparking lot -- it's about an 8-mile hike (a lot of it on gravel). But honestly, it's worth every step! Just when you think you've reached the falls... you haven't. Keep going! The road in is pure washboard -- about 13 miles of bump city -- so make sure you have a 4-wheel drive and that nothing inside your car is loose. Fossil Creek is absolutely stunning, and bonus -- no permit needed after October 1st. The other thing says this trail is easy. No, it's not to be careful if you're taking somebody elderly over that doesn't have good mobility because there's some rocks you had a climb and what not also make sure you take plenty of water to drink and a little snack everything you pack in your pack. I would also suggest leaving the house by three 330. No later you don't wanna be hiking in the pitch dark.

We had our permit that one of our husbands printed for us but since he was not in vehicle, they would not allow us to enter!! Worse than our problem were 2 women in thier turn around lot at thier gate and those 2 women were still stranded in the heat nearly 6 hours later. We the park rangers failed to relay a hugely important message to those ladies about thier spare tire being In the middle of the road 10 miles back !! Again a huge disappointment for those park employees who witnessed these women being stranded, and we feel with 3 employees and 2 trucks could have easily assisted these women or at the very least let them know where thier spare was located ! We were hugely inconvenienced by driving back several miles to pile into one car as the option they offered us, but these poor ladies we believe were clearly suffering unnecessary while not one of those employees told them where thier spare was located or possibly offered to get it for them .
