Community parks for family outings

Igliane says there are several parks throughout the neighborhood that are just for residents, connected by a network of walking paths that weave through subdivisions. Some of these paths lead to bridges over small streams that flow into a lake, where folks can try catch-and-release fishing. There are neighborhood courts for volleyball, basketball and bocce, and several picnic ramadas (an Arizona term for a covered, open-air shelter) equipped with BBQ grills for family gatherings; Pirate Park has a pirate-themed playground. On summer days when temperatures regularly top 100 degrees, the neighborhood’s splash pads are a welcome respite from the heat. Just west of the community, Gilbert Regional Park is the largest park in Gilbert, and features a 17-foot-tall playground with climbing nets, shade sails and a zip line. East of the neighborhood, the public 18-hole Power Ranch Golf Course and its training facilities are popular with golfers of all skill levels.
