Monterey Park

Clean, quiet, 2 difficulty levels with the kids playground. Minimal bathrooms but glad to have them.

A hidden gem in Phoenix. Very well maintained. Street parking ample.

Plain little park with a baseball field in the middle, and a little kiddie play section tucked in the corner. A few homeless people are out there as some has said, but they do not bother anyone. It is a nice little place for a short jog and I favor it ebcasue it has sand to cushion the knee/foot joints when jogging. I have not been in the bathroom, but by sounds of flushing and running water I assume it's workable.

A tiny park near the heart of Phoenix. The sand filled playground area was clean with a little shade cover. Saw only one covered picnic ramadas. Bathrooms were old but workable. What stood out to me were the big black iron gates enclosing this park. A lot of homeless in this park.

Although a Phoenix public park, it is quite private and, currently doing some urban camping myself, I have not been inured to the charms of the local inhabitants. To the contrary, the gentleman walking his dog every morning has been a pleasure to meet. Unfortunately local officials must have been notified, much to my chagrin. The best sleep I have had in weeks.
