Came here for the Bases & Brews Music Fest to see country singer Chris Lane and adult contemporary singer Andy Grammer. This event was held at the park that accompanies the Spring Training home of the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers, one of the most amazing and beautiful facilities in the Cactus League! Like the Ostrich Festival I attended the weekend before, there was also a carnival that hosted the music event as well. The event was easily accessible but the parking was a bit of a jaunt. A six-block jaunt both ways for me so I definitely got my daily walk in, between this event and the work event I attended to earlier in the day! But to see Andy Grammer, who is a longtime favorite of mine, and country newcomer Chris Lane, the exercise was well worth my aching feet! I got right up near the stage and plenty of pictures (of both artists) and videos (of Andy only) from their performances and even got to meet Corey Lane, brother of Chris, afterward! I went VIP for this event and am glad I did! Delicious food and drinks and the people who put this on were so awesome! I wasn't able to get pix of that due to people always in the way LOL but I enjoyed the hospitality tremendously. City of Surprise, you really know how to host an amazing event and cater to the people! Thank you for all you do! And last but not least, Thank You Yelp for all you do and Thank You to Andy and Chris for a great night of music! read more

Christmas in the Park was held here, lots of room for the crowds. Needs bathroom facilities.

Are you ready to get lost? Let's go outside and play! You are never to young to play! Puppies and teenage twins need exercise. It keeps puppies, twins, and adults all safe and healthy. Is it safe to go outside and play again? This is a large field that we found while out walking the dogs in our little realm of Surprise, AZ. Their is green grass for as far as the eye can see. The dogs need lots and lots of walking. We can come here all hours of the day and play. Truly it's so open that you don't even see other humans. The park is alive with the breath of spring. Rabbits and many new species of birds are every where. In the early early morning, the hoots of owls can be heard. As we walk along the side walk the sounds of the owl can be heard. Shhh, keep silent and let the hoot of the owl engulf your soul. The earth this early in the morning speaks, if only one will listen. The smells of the orange blossoms tantalize the senses. Do you remember those smells of the orange blossoms blooming? Let your mind wander as you recall those special moments. I can remember walking along side my grandma; holding her hand. How those smells take me back? It is funny how a smell can bring silent joy and bliss to your soul just by walking the dog in the morning. The park here is well maintained and safe most of the time. It's located in a residential area surrounded by many schools. One must always be careful for you do not ever want to be a target. Always tell someone where your going and be alert when your walking. I mention this sincerely and do not want to scare anyone. The other morning around 4 a.m. it was a still morning, no breeze at all. The air was fresh and the smells of the orange blossoms were apparent. Usually, when I walk a few joggers are around; this morning a car was parked and seemed out of the ordinary. As we walked by it seemed to follow behind me and the dogs. One would think two dogs would be scary! Apparently not. Let's just say our walk ended early that morning. Never take your safety for granted. Be prepared and safe out there these days. When I got home my oldest son now accompanies me while walking. Smell the roses along the way. Never ever take chances with your safety. When your hair sticks up on the back of your neck, pay attention. When the dogs get silent and seem on guard; they are. Here in Surprise it's a very safe area. The worst crime is that of speeding beyond expectations truly. The drivers in this area give Vegas and California drivers a run for their money. Just pay attention to your surroundings always. Why do I mention this? We all get comfortable, when this happens we let our guard down. Sometimes we need to be reminded about strangers. I'm not trying to scare anyone, but this incident spooked me. I NO longer walk alone in the morning, even with two dogs. Be aware and don't be scared! Love and happiness is the way. We all need to come together and support our communities. If we see something; say something. The city of Surprise keeps its parks safe for us that have to walk their dogs early. The grounds are free and clear of debris. The park is lit up at all hours of the night. Make sure and always take your cell phone. They have Citizen Patrol, which used to be more available. Not sure why they are not as many of these citizens patrol cars that are no longer on the road. The city has done a wonderful job at making sure you are safe when you want to wander off and get lost. Remember to keep one foot on the ground while chasing those rainbows. Let's go and get our exercise now, the dogs are awaiting. As the world sleeps we will walk. We will walk in the silence of the early morning as the early morning dawn reveals her beauty to us yet again. Are you willing to accept her light and love? Reality will come latter for now let's move around and discover what the night still has to offer us. read more

Today while our on a walk around Surprise Community Park I decided to walk over and check out things across the street. I had been here once before for a community event for Sunday's in the Park. I was Unaware until today that the fields are open to the public all day everyday for outdoor activities. I was so happy to see this. It's a gated location so if you like to walk, but want to maybe bring your kids or do it away from cars this would be a great place. Plenty of room for walking, jogging, soccer etc. even maybe a picnic with family or friends while the kids run around. There is a nearby bathroom as well. There are trash cans located all over the field and is well kept. There are a few hotels located across the street as well as a great library. I am looking forward to spending more time here in the future. read more
