    This could be such a beautiful area if the City of Phoenix would get off their tails and clean it up or even organize some kind of a public clean up I would be there there. It is a great natural resource to have in the downtown area almost like a little Central Park right in the middle of Phoenix. Such a shame it's being wasted as a garbage dump and campsite for the homeless ridiculous. This area should be patrolled cleaned and developed with regularity it's such a waste. Get your act together Phoenix

    This is a very lovely place to visit and enjoy the views, habitat, and the tranquility. The park is open till dusk, and the park ranger will try to make you move your vehicle Prince its closed. If you can stay till after sundown it is spectacular. I've seen a number of families gathering for pictures. Seeing them all dressed up with the park as their background. It made me feel good seeing that take place. The female visitors should be weary for there are a number of transients about. Most are harmless but please be cautious.

    Great walking trail. Needs more shade. Very peaceful

    By far the most convenient place to bird-watch living in downtown Phoenix. It's always sad to see the amount of trash that piles up here, but luckily for me and my Birds and Beers Meetups group, the wildlife doesn't seem to mind as much as I do. Always a fantastic sighting on each outing, we got to see the Great Horned Owl and Belted Kingfisher today (and many more).

    Not certain what habitat they're trying to restore here under the Central Avenue bridge unless its trash-strewn homeless habitat. There is rarely any water in this section of the Salt River bed at any time of the year and hardly any wildlife to reside in this so-called "restored" habitat. Phoenix should be ashamed of itself. Not sure what goes on in the nice shiny new Nina Mason Audubon Center, but there's no evidence of anything noticeably related to conservation. Be sure to check the visitor's center out before you make your next donation to the Audubon Society. You may think twice about getting up off of those hard-earned dollars.
