There's plenty of playground equipment for kids. 4 slides, a few swing are among other activities. There's a good size field too for children's birthday parties. No restrooms and not a ton of shade (there is some under the ramada). I'm quite pleased by this park.

It has probably been ten years since I was last at this park -- mostly because I live on the opposite end of the Valley, but I still remember hiking the Go John Trail from twice that long ago. (Back then, we didn't have Internet-based recommendation systems or online trail guides, so we relied on books or the maps provided at the ranger stations.) That trail is no joke and the climb was a bit of a surprise as it has roughly 849 ft of elevation gain with some 10-15% grades over the course of nearly 6 miles. The elevation gain means some really nice desert views. I was here this time for a trail race, which is not run by the park, but we used the facilities and trails, which were well maintained and amazing to run on. I had a family of deer run across the trail about 100 yds in front of me on the home stretch of the race. I recommend all of the Maricopa County Parks and this one is no exception: each one has its own character and they're all worth visiting.

Slate Trail is a really enjoyable hike with classic Sonoran Desert scenery--towering saguaros,…read morerocky hillsides, and wide open views that make it feel peaceful without being remote. Parking was easy, and I appreciated the clean, convenient restrooms at the trailhead. That said, I do think the trail is slightly misrated. While it's listed as easy, the rocky footing and a few stretches with noticeable incline push it more into easy-moderate territory. It's absolutely doable, but hikers should be prepared for uneven terrain and some effort, especially if they're expecting a flat stroll. I brought my walking stick, and I'm glad I did. Overall, this is a beautiful, well-kept trail and a great way to experience Cave Creek Regional Park. With a more accurate difficulty rating, it would be a near-perfect hike.

Word of caution: encourage your littles to go down the purple slide, not the orange one--the orange one injures like a human pinball machine!

Helpful tip for newcomers: when you drive in, you'll first see a small parking lot on the left (only about 8-10 spaces and it fills quickly). If it's full, keep driving about a quarter mile -- there's a much larger parking area on the right with restrooms, trail maps, and the entry station. Parking is free and it's $5 to enter (worth it). The restrooms were very clean and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The trails are absolutely stunning. The scenery changes throughout -- desert views, red rocks, mountains, wildflowers, and even a beautiful creek It honestly felt like walking through another world. The hike is mostly relaxed and scenic with some light elevation, very doable and peaceful. Everything was well maintained and clearly marked. As someone new to Arizona (from Michigan), I was blown away by the beauty here. If you're looking for a scenic, peaceful, and truly special hiking experience near Cave Creek, I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be back Thank you

Right near a number of the restaurants, shops, and parking is The Park at PV. It's a grassy area that is great for special events, relaxing with gelato, just taking it easy and people watching, or even walking dogs. I've enjoyed visiting The Park at PV on several occasions in the last so many months. The first time I enjoyed sitting around the park is right after Frost opened with its tasty gelato. My wife and I each got a scoop of gelato and sat down in the large chairs and people watched at the edge of the Park at PV. Also, around that time, Federal Pizza held its "Pizza Party" (though not much pizza there) where they had free samples of their pizza and other booths set up along The Park at PV. The Park at PV hosts activities and events that are family friendly. Nowadays they are hosting Sunset Sweat, a summer evening outdoor class sponsored by Visit Phoenix, You bring your own yoga mat, towel, water bottle, sunscreen, and friends, and the class is taken care of as is the nearby complimentary covered parking in the structure just steps from the park. The Park at PV also hosts the Fall Family Movie Nights, which are Visit Phoenix-sponsored movie nights with a big screen. Simply bring blankets, chairs, and grab dinner and snacks nearby, and you can enjoy a night under the starts each month. Later this month, they are hosting the new Lilo & Stitch. I have this feeling that as the PV continues to grow, so will the offerings at The Park at PV.
