This surprisingly large park has a big pond and a superb walking trail. Closer to the main buildings begins the placards that describe the real purpose and history of the park: Native American kids were sent here to assimilate into main stream culture. There are beautiful places to sit and contemplate and the entire park is well-maintained. A Phoenix treasure!
