Winding trails with hills and some park benches along the way. We spent time walking and talking a lot. Visiting family so nice place to do just that, catch up with each other's world. There were bikes and pets on leashes on the trails as well.

This is a fabulous asset for the city of Phoenix. Many miles of hiking and mountain biking trails for all levels.
