About the Location

Recreation and Amenities

Nestled in Glendale, Arizona along N 57th Ave, Butler Park offers a breath of fresh air for locals and visitors alike. This community green space offers a good balance of recreational options without being overwhelming.

Take a peaceful wander along the walking paths that meander through the park's greenery - they're well-kept and excellent for clearing your mind or getting in those daily steps. We've noticed plenty of dog parents enjoying these trails with their furry friends (just remember to bring those doggy bags!).

If you're feeling a bit more energetic, the basketball court is waiting for your next game. Whether you're shooting hoops solo or joining a friendly pick-up game, it's a great spot to break a sweat.

Hungry after all that activity? The covered picnic areas with tables make for ideal lunch spots or small family gatherings away from the Arizona sun.

Children's Play Area

The real star of Butler Park for families has to be the playground area. Set on a bed of wood chips for extra safety, the play equipment offers a fun adventure for kids of various ages.

Little ones can swing to their hearts' content while older children tackle the climbing structures. It's not the biggest playground you'll ever see, but it has just enough variety to keep the kids entertained while you relax nearby.

Park Environment

What makes Butler Park work so well is its modest size - not so sprawling that you'll lose sight of your group, but spacious enough that you don't feel cramped. Its location near Glendale American Elementary School and within reach of Glendale Community College makes it a convenient stop for many.

One thing to note: there are no public restrooms available, so plan accordingly before your visit. The street parking situation is refreshingly stress-free - you can typically find a spot without circling the block endlessly.

And unlike some of the more popular parks in the area, Butler rarely feels crowded, giving you space to breathe regardless of when you visit.

Accessibility

The park welcomes visitors daily from 6 AM to 10 PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy everything it has to offer. It's a pleasant neighborhood space offering a relaxed park experience.

If you're in the area and need a pleasant outdoor space to unwind or let the kids burn off some energy, Butler Park might just be your new go-to spot.
