Today this 98-acre park offers ten covered and landscaped ramadas that can be reserved for parties and special events, or just used as a place to sit and enjoy lunch.

I used to live next to Eldorado Park and visited the park weekly with my German Shepherd. The park is full of amenities such as several playgrounds, fishing spots, baseball & softball fields, and even includes a skatepark. Eldorado Park also seamlessly merges into Vista Del Camino Park which gives you plenty of length for a nice run or bike ride. The park is fairly long, so I'd recommend using the app, Avem, to help you discover and find your favorite amenities.

We have a full scale café serving gourmet coffee and pastries for breakfast, hearty sandwiches and flavorful salads for lunch, and fresh baked cookies and ice cream cones for dessert. Kids also have great menu choices that include familiar favorites and unique items like the Fluffernutter sandwich... so yummy! Our fun zone is a 3,500 square-foot indoor play space where kids’ imaginations can run wild. After being greeted at the Ranger Station, kids ages 8 and under can explore, climb, crawl and slide among colorful animal characters that live in the north woods. There is also an area designated for toddlers to do all of the same things on a “toddler scale.” Parents are welcome to join the fun, or enjoy some rest and an iced coffee on one of our comfy couches or chairs. The party place is also a great place to host a child’s birthday party or a special group event. There are large party rooms, plenty of reservation times to choose from, and party packages to fit your budget.

Go to Arizona in June they said...it will be fun they said.... OMG, it was helza hot. The idea of leaving the air conditioned hotel to the breath of satan did not sound appealing. The kids were good sports and endured a couple of hikes in 114 degree weather so we went on Groupon and found UpTown Jungle Fun Park. The place was air conditioned and had lots of seating for adults to chill. The kids had so much fun climbing, sliding, jumping and exploring the place. Would recommend for families of elementary school aged kids!

My 5-year old granddaughter was very entertained here and enjoyed it though she 1-inch too short for "best" (zip-lining and ropes). Check-in is the usual process at laptops.
