About Lakeside Park
A Serene Lakeside Escape
Tucked within the Val Vista Lakes community in Gilbert, Arizona, Lakeside Park offers a breath of fresh air for both locals and visitors. This recreational area wraps around a picturesque lake, offering a pleasant contrast to the usual desert landscape.
The lake itself steals the show here, providing a calming backdrop that's fantastic for those moments when you need to disconnect. Mature trees scatter across the park, offering welcome shade during Arizona's warmer months and adding to the natural charm of the space.
Get Moving or Just Unwind
Smooth paved paths wind around the lake and across grassy areas, making this spot ideal whether you're looking for a morning jog, a bike ride, or just a leisurely walk to clear your head. The well-maintained trail is a highlight for many regular visitors, with a timed sprinkler system keeping the surrounding greenery fresh despite the desert climate.
If fishing is your thing, you're welcome to cast a line into the lake, however be aware that your luck might vary depending on when you visit. What's nice about this park is how it naturally accommodates everyone - there's space for the energetic types and quiet corners for those who just want to sit and watch the water.
Kid-Friendly Corner
Parents will appreciate the thoughtfully designed playground where little ones can burn off energy while you take a breather on nearby benches. It's these small but important details that make Lakeside Park such a family-friendly spot in the community.
For the Four-Legged Friends
Your dogs are welcome to join you here, provided they stay on a leash. You'll come across convenient pet waste stations along the walking paths, making it easy to clean up after your furry companion. Remember to keep your pup leashed and pick up after them so everyone can enjoy the clean, well-kept grounds.
