About the Location

Park Overview

Located in Gilbert, Arizona, Crossroads Park spans 92 acres of recreational space. Open since 1992, this expansive green space has a little something for everyone - no matter if you're an avid sports player, fishing enthusiast, or just looking for a peaceful spot to enjoy Arizona's famous sunshine.

Water Features

The 3.74-acre lake is a highlight of the park, filled with reclaimed water that has both environmental benefits and creates an attractive centerpiece. Grab your fishing gear and try your luck, or simply enjoy watching the resident ducks paddle around with their fluffy ducklings in tow.

The large grassy basin area surrounding the lake doubles as multi-use fields, meant for impromptu games of frisbee or picnicking. Walking paths meander throughout, offering serene views of the water - ideal for those morning or sunset strolls.

Sports Facilities

Crossroads offers many athletic options with its array of lighted fields and courts. You can find well-maintained baseball and softball fields that local teams frequently call home, spacious soccer fields for the futbol crowd, a sand volleyball court for beach-style play without the ocean, and a half basketball court for pickup games.

The thoughtfully placed concession stand near the ice arena means you won't have to play on an empty stomach. The evening lighting allows for extended play hours after sunset - particularly useful during hot Arizona summers.

Family-Friendly Areas

Kids need to burn off energy? The shaded play structure provides a welcome respite from the desert heat while letting little ones climb and slide to their hearts' content. While not the biggest playground in town, its strategic location near the baseball fields means parents can watch one child's game while keeping an eye on siblings at play.

Four-legged family members haven't been forgotten either - the dog park welcomes pups of all sizes with separate areas for small and large dogs. Note that it follows regular park hours and closes for maintenance during June and July.

Amenities

Planning a gathering? The park offers reservable ramadas complete with BBQ grills and electrical outlets - well-suited for family reunions, birthday parties, or just a weekend cookout with friends. These picnic spots are strategically placed to take advantage of the park's natural beauty and walking paths.

Clean restroom facilities are available within the grounds, but you might need to walk a bit to reach them from some areas of the park. Benches, bike racks, and multi-use trails round out the amenities, making your visit comfortable and convenient.

Special Attractions

What sets Crossroads apart from many other parks is AZ Ice Gilbert, an indoor ice arena right on the premises. This family-friendly venue offers hockey, public skating sessions, and other icy entertainment - a surprisingly perfect complement to Arizona's desert environment.

The contrast between the outside triple-digit heat and the cool ice rink can be quite refreshing during summer days. Train enthusiasts (especially the younger ones) will appreciate the tracks running near the park, with regular train passings that never fail to delight children who stop in their tracks to watch the cars rumble by.
