They are rib by volunteers. The trails are clean, dogs welcome everywhere, horses in designated areas, camp sites also available to rent which come with bbq grills and pits along with space for tents. Check out their website for the info. This is a great park to take your kids to the playground, go fishing, get your steps in, take your dog food a walk or have a date. Many picture perfect spots which are popular for graduation, wedding, and birthday pics. I even saw a couple get married on the bridge at sunset a quick 5 minute ceremony to not hold up anyone. Parking in a few spots and adjacent to the library for extra parking. 2 bathrooms I've been to are clean and maintained. Water fountains also there.

The only question I have is... Why did we wait so long to come? There was 8 of us in our group and…read morewe loved being there. We all felt so calm and peaceful.

As the event was close to beginning and seating had filled up the event staff was diligent about locating open seats and coordinating with visitors to get them a chair. Then they quickly pivoted to setting up more seating for the increased demand. Fair amount of parking on all sides of the building.

Recently started classes here now that the summer has pretty much outruled outdoor play. My son…read moreloves it and the class instructor is very friendly. My other mommy friends also join us, so he had some familiar faces to play with. It's held once a week for about 6 to 8wks (class length varies) indoor, they have cars, balls, hoops, ramps, tunnels, blocks, trampolines, lots of stuff that littles under 3yrs old can play with for 45min. It includes song time and a bit of outdoor play with bubbles if weather permits. I like having affordable, short term commitment classes like this for my son, esp during the summer. I really have zero complaints: registration is easy, it's affordable, it's nearby, it's entertainment for my little man.

They had a lot of available amenities for us to use if we needed them. The day of process was great! They had carts available for us to utilize to unload/load our items. The Maple room was fantastic and large enough for our space. In the contract, you can request the staff to set up the chairs and tables for you for an additional fee, which we opted for. All we had to do on our end was set up the party decorations and set out the food. They assisted us in setting up the audio, there was a mic for us to use, and a tv if we needed it. The room itself is connected to the patio area, which would be fabulous for an evening event or when the weather is nicer! They also had doors for you to use to exit straight to the bathroom area. There was plenty of parking as well and a playground nearby for the little ones. I was very happy with this space highly recommend!

As a respectable hiker, I'm not going to call this a hike but it is a cool experience. I stopped by…read moreon Memorial Day in the afternoon by design. It was 95 degrees so I knew a challenging hike would be out of the question. Something like Hole-in-the-Rock though, easy peasy. While there were a decent number of people there, I had no trouble finding free parking. This natural wonder is located in Papago Park close to the Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden. After you park, you'll have a five-minute walk to get to Hole-in-the-Rock. You'll have to climb an incline to get in the hole, so definitely be careful, but there are kids that do it too. And a lot of tourists that show up. So that pretty much sums it up. Once you get inside, you'll have an awesome view of the Phoenix through a literal hole in a big rock. You'll see a lot of people using it as a photo opp. That's not really my style, so instead, I took a seat and enjoyed the beauty for 10 minutes or so. It can get pretty crowded so keep that in mind if you stop by on a weekend. Hole-in-the-Rock is one of the top attractions on TripAdvisor in Phoenix. Definitely a cool (and short) adventure to cross of the bucket list. I spent 30 minutes there (which included hanging out in the rock for half the time).

The clip that hangs from the ceiling was too damaged to hang much on it. The table was also beyond damaged. I felt bad having my son hit anything on that table for fear it would crumble. I also have no clue if they wash the gloves and face masks in between uses. It didn't feel like it to me. Also to note for families that bring their kids, they leave everyone's writing on the walls which can have some explicit language on it like ours did. But my gripes actually began at the beginning of the experience. If you weren't ready to rage when you enter this building, I'm sure the front staff will help you get to that level like they did to me. Maybe that was the point? I was never told the suits we have to wear would be additional charges. I also wasn't told that if I paid in cash it would be cheaper. Paying an extra $25 for paper suits was shocking. I went back to my reminder email and there was nothing of the sort within it. I assumed the paper suits were included just as I have been to other rage paint rooms. He told me I could leave and go to the Bank of America down to the street since I was early, to my response: if I leave I'm not coming back here. Additionally, I was extremely embarrassed when this same individual, walked over to me as I was picking out sizing for my son, and pointed to the suit and said "that size will be for your son and this size will be for you" pointing to the 3x sizing. I not only don't wear 3x but for him to come over at me and tell me in that way I was mortified. I would have also figured out what size I was and my son on my own and realized that they do not have all sizes. I don't need someone to tell me what they think my size is. Alas, I was in a 3x suit and swimming in it and tripping in it in the rage room. This was my experience and my opinion however I try to always give some insight to the owner as well to hopefully change their practices to help out us customers. Starting with the reminder email and letting the customer know about the extra charge of suits and cash only/credit with a fee system and that not all sizes were on hand. Lastly, the front desk associate needs to be properly trained on how to speak to customers and make them feel welcome. Especially at a place like a rage room.l
