This park is really pretty. Was visiting family from out of town and had time to stop here. The blue water... the bridges. All beautiful. Was sad seeing so much garbage in the water though. People really do suck. The bathrooms were also pretty dirty. Doors didnt latch shut. Grim and garbage piled up in there also. And maybe putting some texture down on pathways would be good as it was raining when I visited and the pathways were super slippery. May avoid future issues with a layer of sand/concrete mix.

Such a fun place to be on the weekend. Feels safe. Family oriented. I first visit on February 13th, 2021 the weather was windy and a little chilly. Bring a jacket or long sleeves layer. Check the weather before you head out. Looking for an inexpensive date night or a quality picnic time with loved one/s this would be the hot spot. Parking lot are plenty. Enjoy!

A great place to take in beauty & have fun. With the ponds, play area, amusement parks, & walking trail every individual and family is due to find something to meet their needs. The park is well maintained & the community shares it well. Lots of shady areas too!

Perfect place to take my 4 year old. All the rides were his size and he was allowed to go on the rides on his own. This is a perfect place for toddlers to experience certain types of roller coasters that fit their age and height.

1st time visit, park was full of families and bird species, park actives, social distancing, mask wearing, and social people respectful of each other. I did have to walk aways to use the restroom, thank goodness this one wasnt locked. The park maintenance drove through often and the park had a clean appearance.

Very large and clean park with very clean restrooms. Normally this park has everything but COVID has caused the amusement park and peddle boats to be closed for now. The park is HUGE!!! Fishing pond! Lots of room to fly a drone or a kite and run free!!! My kids love it here!!

Probably one of the most unique parks in Phoenix. The park is great for taking the kids out, walking, and even fishing. I love that they sell bags of duck/ Geese feed for $1 however, lots of people here keep feeding them bread.

Great park for young kids. Free to get in and just 21 bucks for unlimited rides. Staff is friendly and the park was clean. No real lines for anything except tickets and food. Would recommend for kids up to age 14, probably wouldnt be as fun for older kids.

Encanto park deserves to be visited, back in the 1970,s it was a dump, not well maintained. That has improved tremendously. Its an old park and are homeless hanging out here and there,like most Phoenix city parks but Ive never had any problems. I go there quite a bit now.

Review №37

Went on a Monday afternoon. Huge geese everywhere.... lots of Goose droppings.. extremely Green water is intriguing, but slightly unsettling. Few questionable characters around screaming to themselves as loudly as possible, but other than that, a decent place to stop and check out for 10 minutes... in their defense, the amusement park was closed. Smh.

My family and I really enjoy the pool and the kids really had a good time. The Encanto pool was very clean and not crowded and the water was so fresh. I like the way the City of Phoenix has you place your appointment online first and offers you a time slot for a small fee.

Pretty active place to go to. I come here to play handball, I believe they have 6 courts to play in, as well as 4 basketball courts, volleyball courts, nice pool, a good running platform and scenery. Tennis courts available too and I believe they have a staff member or two to help you out with any equipment or gates to unlock of you need to access a certain court to play in.

First, Encanto park is huge! An awesome place to exercise, take a walk, bring the dog, yada that kind of thing. But lets not forget about the amusement park! Encanto park Enchanted Island Amusement Park is a toddler and child friendly amusement park. Most of the rides are actually too small for adults. Think of six flags for kids and youll get the idea. Theres roller coaster rides, a splash pad, merry go round and lots more. Theres also a few confectioners stands for snow cones and such. Theres also a paddle boat rental there and you can rent a paddle boat by the half hour. But the water is disgusting and they definitely dont keep trash out of it. I feel sorry for the birds and I wouldnt eat any fish out of the water, either. That aside, Encanto Park is a beautiful place and the rides are fun, so go!

Big clean playground for kids. Usually clean bathrooms supplied with toilet paper and hand soap! Water fountains are cold and good. Usually has a good amount of kids in the area. Lots of space to ride a bike or skates with kids. Big lake to fish also. The enchanted island area is great for toddler age kids and offers cool rides at great prices. For older kids they have the paddle boats and playground. FGreat family spot!!!

I love the pond and the ducks . Kinda reminds me when I was younger living in New Jersey . Id go feed the ducks and get lost in the moment of the peacefulness . Encanto park has a lot to offer at no cost . Its a Jem to be treasured and enjoyed . Remember to pick up after yourself and throw away your trash in proper places . Dont leave it behind for someone else to pick up . Encanto park can be a place for both yourself or with a family . Will take my sister and her children there when they visit for my birthday .

Really nice park. Very large. Has numerous ponds including one for fishing even tho i suggest NOT doing it. The water is rather filthy. Lots of ducks to feed but be very very very aware that the birds, ducks and worse the goose/swans are aggressive!! We attempted to feed some and got attacked by some of them so watch your kids!

Great park, I go there frequently with my dogs. Very clean and well-maintained.I just wish they would enforce leash laws a bit more because quite a few dog owners let their dogs run loose.

My kids had so much fun today. This is definitely geared towards the younger set. My oldest was too big for a lot of the rides, but he still had fun on the options available to him. The rock wall was probably out of the little guys wheel house. Staff was friendly and helpful.

This is a great park with lots to do. They have 8 tennis courts, 4 full sized outside basketball courts, 2 concrete volleyball courts, 2 sand volleyball courts, a baseball field, 2 playgrounds, a river that runs through the park. Lots of greenery and sidewalk. I guess the only think it doesnt have is a football field.

I love this park. Growing up in the valley, Enanto park was a very special place for my family. It was clear across town from Scottsdale. Every now and then our mother would pack us up in our VW bug and take us to the park for the day. The canoes were a great treat to rent and navigate the water ways. The amusement park was a great experience. When we had run amuck long enough to get a big appetite, then we would find a beautiful shady area with a picnic table and enjoy a picnic in the park. Encanto Park is a wonderful place to get away from all the everyday stuff right in the middle of the big crazy city. Good memories.

Beautiful park in the heart of Phoenix with waterfalls, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a sports complex. If youre looking for some fresh air, make your way to Encanto Park! Oh, and there is also a small amusement park for the kiddos! The park covers a large area, so I recommend downloading the app, Avem. Itll help you find all Encanto Park amenities.

This park is a big part, of this city, that I have loved, from the moment I visited it, in the late 80s... That is when I moved to Phoenix to attend college... I am from Reno, Nevadas, and parks there are very similar to Encanto Park... If your lucky enough to be invited or just plain an outing for yourself dont hesitate your decision to visit you will not be disappointed... bring proper duck and goose food to feed them at the little lake that is in the park theres also an enchanted island for entertainment, vendors that offer food and drinks,childrens rides, a train that takes you around the park,Patel boats to rent, golfing, grills and picnic tables, tennis courts, hand ball, swimming pool, basketball courts, bicycle rentals, I have probably forgotten something to tell about the park... go and enjoy yourself..

Has not changed much is 30 years although I did not notice the band shell it used to have. Good park, so is scottsdale park. Lots of duck and geese with babys. The the pigeons just make a path for you and your dog. Dont forget to bring some bread for the birds, they will follow you in love, till the breads gone.

Encanto Park was beautiful. a little spot of paradise amongst the city. little body of water that you can pattle boat in. feed the ducks and geese that are all around. playground for kiddos and plenty of running room. or just bring a blanket and have a picnic. there is a little ride area for kids that is free to enter. but it does cost money to ride the rides.will definitely be going back take in more and more.

Ive been coming here over 20 years. Played as a child, now I bring my children. Its beautiful. A lot of activities f on paddle boats to a kiddie land with rides. And a regular playground or two. Plenty of ducks to feed, and the geese will come right up and take food from your hands. Highly recommend for both residents and visitors.

Very well kept park. Bridges and water features add to its character.

It was very VERY clean, family oriented park. It was the NICEST park by far that Ive been to. My husband and I barbequed and enjoyed ourselves with out any confrontation from other park goers or other people. It would b a park I would recommend to my family, friends, co-workers, or anyone else thats interested n a clean, quiet, peaceful picnic, stroll n the park, birthday party or mayb even jus a simple barbeque. You have my top recommendations Encanto Park. Keep our community simple and clean!!! 👍
