Neil G. Giuliano Park

Waterfront Retreat on Tempe Town Lake

Nestled along the shores of Tempe Town Lake, Neil G. Giuliano Park offers a refreshing escape from city life while still being right in the heart of things. This urban oasis stretches from Tempe Beach Park to Rural Road, creating a pleasant transition between recreational spaces and the residential and commercial buildings of Hayden Ferry Lakeside.

The views here? Absolutely worth the visit. You'll be treated to gorgeous panoramas of the lake, distant mountain silhouettes, and twinkling city lights as evening falls. It's the kind of place where you can pause, take a deep breath, and just appreciate being outside for a moment.

What You'll Find Here

On the north side of the lake, you'll discover a sandy beach area that's easily accessible from Curry Road and Lake View Drive. It's well-suited for relaxing, reading a book, or just dipping your toes in the sand. Just note that swimming isn't allowed in the lake itself, so save your backstroke for another day.

Getting Active and Connected

Feel like moving? Giuliano Park doesn't stand alone - it's actually part of an impressive network of green spaces around Tempe Town Lake. The park connects to over five miles of paths and trails that are ideal for your morning jog, evening stroll, or weekend bike ride.

Its location near Downtown Tempe and Arizona State University makes this park particularly convenient for students looking for study breaks and locals wanting some fresh air without traveling far from home.
