El Reposo Park

Has a great walking/ jogging trail, free bodyweight powered gym equipment along the walking trail (chin up bars, cycle machine, rowing machine) they say there is also an elliptical machine in the playground area but I haven't gone to look yet. Overall I felt confident canceling my gym membership to use the park gym equipment and workout at home

This public city park in South Phoenix is one of those places that leaves you with mixed feelings. On one hand it lacks a lot of basic things that many people expect from a well maintained park. On the other hand for a park in this part of the city it is not too bad and it still serves its purpose for some of the surrounding community. You can tell it has potential but very little attention is actually given to making it better. One of the biggest issues is the restrooms. They are almost always dirty and poorly maintained. At times there are homeless people inside doing who knows what which makes it uncomfortable and sometimes unsafe to even go in. If you plan on using the restrooms you should definitely go in with caution because cleanliness and security are clearly not priorities here. The sports areas are a bit of a mixed bag. The volleyball court and the soccer court seem to be in decent shape and are probably the best parts of the park. They look usable and maintained enough for casual games. The basketball courts however are outdated and not well taken care of. The surfaces are worn down and it feels like they have been forgotten for years with no real effort to improve the

For a public park, it is what it is … I tried to enjoy the day in the sun and was subjected to having to watch homeless people copulate and be hit on by people that were unaware that I don’t wish to date anyone - and verbally berated because I rejected them. 🤷🏽

Clean park with a few tables where you can sit down for a while. There are some big trees but there was limited shade. I took my dog just to walk around and be outdoors for a while, we enjoyed the quiet and open space. There is a walking trail, I don't know the distance of the loop. There's a playground with a ramada w/tables & charcoal grill near it, no one was there at the time during the day that we were. There's also South Mountain Community Center, I'm not sure what is offered there. Overall a nice, quiet, clean park with plenty of parking.The 4 stars is only because there's not more seating, benches spread around would be nice and helpful for those of us with disabilities preventing long distances. And because of the lack of shady areas.
