On Trip Advisor, I was surfing Things To Do in Yuma, Arizona, and I happened upon the most interesting name of a park here, Roxaboxen Park. I looked over the reviews and noted everyone suggests you first read a children's book titled Roxaboxen. So my...More

Cool to see in connection with the book

My kids love the book so it was really great to stop here. It's HOT and, if you know the book, its level of entertainment is connected to YOU so there isn't "stuff" to entertain you here. A great place to make a connection to...More

Read the Book, then visit the place!

This is a fun picnic spot. Please be sure to read the book, it will mean so much more. Paint a few rocks at home, and bring them by to add to the collection. We brought pizza and drinks and enjoyed the beautiful November weather.

Interesting but--

If you have read the children's book of the same name, then you will like this little park. Otherwise, don't bother
