Kiwanis Park - Park in Tempe - 5500 S Mill Ave, USA

Kiwanis Park is awesome! It's got a big playground, nice picnic spots, and a cool splash pad. My family loves coming here for fun outdoor days. The greenery and clean paths make it perfect for walks too. We always have a blast!

The playground was fully shaded which is very nice. There were lots of ramadas for parties where there were several happening even now as summer approaches. There were plenty of amenities that were kept up like drinking fountains and grills. The park is absolutely huge. Though there was some damaged cement here and there, there is clearly good effort to maintain the park's quality.

I have loved this place since I first laid eyes on it as a little kid growing up in AZ. It's so peaceful, and I never hear about crimes happening. I have even spent two nights in my car, where I was homeless, and no one bothered me. Security just makes sure no one is infringing on other people's rights there. I love how clean the park is and how beautifully protected Allah has made that area. Such a hidden jewel that's not meant for everyone, but it has so much to offer those who appreciate it. I love the lake, the baseball field, the basketball courts, the indoor wave pool, the many places to park, and the people are always happy when there at this park. Such a serene place in the heart of Tempe.

Huge park along a walking/biking path. So many fun equiptment options that I had never seen before. A swaying machine, gigantic fire truck rocker, musical instrument and percussion area, huge equipment and slides for the older kids but plenty of options for younger kids. There are also swings, an accessible swing, toddler swings and a tire swing. Great park for my 2 and 3 1/2 year old!

I have to come back to this park more often. It’s very well kept and clean. It looks like it has a lot of attractions and Ramada’s. There is a ample amount of electric scooters by bird and spin available if you like to ride around the park on a scooter. Please don’t throw the scooters into the water too that’s not cool.

Large and beautiful park for the whole family. A great place to spend a couple hours walking and spending time with the local birds and ducks at the lake. Rolling hills and a scenic lake make this part a go to for wholesome outdoor activities.

My kids (ages 7 and 8) absolutely loved this park. The splash pad was on all day and it's right next to a covered playground. There are a few ramadas, all taken by parties and there are not many benches or tables. The restroom was clean. The boat rental window was open and my kids loved the duck shaped noisy although we didn't rent one. I did see a few homeless people but they stayed away from the playground area and weren't a problem in any way. There was an elote cart and got 2 large and 1 small cups of corn, I paid $13 and honestly, they weren't very good. Also at the boat rental window, they sell soda, powerade, and chips. I bought a powerade (very small bottle) and it was nearly $5. Next time, I'll bring a small cooler. We'll definitely be coming here often.

Pleasant, open walk around the lake--quickly accessible from parking area on the west side of All American Way, which runs through the park. We saw a lovely selection of birds, as shown. I don't plan to come during high temps, as it's not highly shaded.
