About the Location

Recreational Features

Hanger Park spans approximately 15.6 acres, offering a variety of outdoor spaces for visitors to enjoy. It features well-maintained trails and paths that wind through the park, providing opportunities for walking, jogging, and casual strolls.

The park's lush greenery and open spaces create a serene atmosphere, making it a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat from urban life.

Family-Friendly Amenities

Hanger Park is designed to cater to diverse recreational needs. It includes multiple playgrounds with jungle gyms and swing sets, appealing to families with children.

Sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the park's facilities, which include basketball courts, soccer fields, and a sand volleyball court. These amenities are strategically placed away from the playgrounds to ensure safety.

Unique Flood Management Role

An interesting feature of Hanger Park is its role in flood management. The park was designed to serve as an overflow retention basin for the Gila Drain.

During heavy rainfall or monsoon season, parts of the park may temporarily resemble a lake. This dual functionality showcases the park's importance in both recreation and urban infrastructure.

Location and Access

Situated at the intersection of Rural Road and Knox Road in the Warner Ranch neighborhood, this park is easily accessible to local residents and visitors alike.

The park serves dual purposes by providing recreational activities for local residents while also functioning as a flood protection measure.
