About the Location

Play & Sports Spaces

Horizon Park is one of those neighborhood retreats that have a bit of something for everyone. Whether you're looking to stretch your legs or keep the kids entertained, this Glendale spot offers the basics without any fuss.

You can find a large open field ideal for impromptu soccer games, frisbee sessions, or just running around with friends. While there's no basketball court (something to note if you're bringing your ball), the park does offer various sports courts and fields for different activities. Families with little ones will appreciate the two updated playgrounds - they're not massive, but they're well-maintained and just right for burning off some kiddo energy.

Puppy Paradise

The park's dog area is a notable feature that many local visitors appreciate. The fenced-in dog park is a highlight that local pet owners particularly love.

Thoughtfully designed with separate sections for large and small dogs, your furry friend can socialize safely regardless of their size. Both you and your four-legged companion can stay hydrated thanks to the water fountains available throughout. And yes, they've thought of the less glamorous aspects of dog ownership too - waste stations with cleanup bags and trash cans are conveniently placed so you can be a responsible pet parent.

Chill-Out Spots

Need a place for a family gathering or just somewhere to enjoy lunch outdoors? The park offers several picnic areas with ramadas that provide much-needed shade during those scorching Arizona days. These spots come equipped with tables and grills, making them ideal for everything from birthday celebrations to casual weekend cookouts.

If you're looking to get some steps in, you'll find some walking paths, but these mainly stick to the sidewalks around the perimeter rather than winding through the park itself.

Green Scene

What gives Horizon Park its pleasant, relaxed vibe is the thoughtful inclusion of trees and green spaces throughout the grounds. The well-maintained grassy areas invite you to throw down a blanket and enjoy a good book or impromptu picnic.

The natural elements create a peaceful atmosphere that feels removed from city life, despite being right in the neighborhood. It's typically uncrowded, clean, and conveniently located next to an elementary school, making it an easy stop for families after school lets out.

Good To Know

One important thing to note: there are no public restrooms at Horizon Park. It's a bit of an inconvenience, especially if you're planning to spend several hours here, so plan your visit accordingly or be prepared to make a quick trip to nearby facilities if needed.
