    Needs upkeep with repairs and maintenace to missing lighting, cacti and deteriorated signage.
    Kerri F.

    Neighborhood Park with National Historical status ... although the City of Mesa lacks the effort to preserve and maintain these sacred ground. We have lived in the area since January 2014 and observed no real upkeep on the cacti, missing or deteriorated botantial signage and lighting. Mesa City Parks & Rec. needs to step up to repair, preserve and maintain the Park of the Canals. Even the website is poorly maintained along with the compass course. Fortunately, we can still enjoy the placed benches and picinc/bbq areas.

    This is my favorite place to have my lunch. The playground for kids has been redone and benches and tables are in good order. It has a nice loop trail that is a quarter of a mile. The cactus garden has several dozen types of cacti. the main draw is the dry canals that were dug by Native Americans in like 300BC. Also on the entrance there is a cactus with 8 limbs which I am told means it's 80 years old. There are geocaches and Munzee located in the park too.

    I nice little park that seems under rated. It's never too busy, everything is in nice repair. There's wood chips instead of sand and local plants (even a garden). Overall peaceful for me and a hit with my kids.

    Playground with slides, sand, swings, and climbing apparatus. Ramada nearby.
