I found this park very relaxing, it has a pond with ducks, some people are fishing, some are just taking a walk around , others are doing photo shoots, or just enjoy the nature and watching for the sunset. It is easy to find and about 15 minutes from downtown Chandler. Great for family with kids or elderly people.

Great park for a walk. Large lake in the middle with a kids train ride around the park. Plenty of benches for a rest. Kids play ground.
5. Makutu's Island
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 89 reviews
Makutu’s [Ma-coo-two’s] [means magic] Island was called Club Disney - is an evergreen lush, exciting indoor “island” with towering trees, climbs, mysterious caves, a "bungee jump", a zip track, an arcade, a café, a special toddler zone and so much more. Our admission price includes ALL DAY fun (and it is not a trampoline park or bounce jungle that you need to pay by the hour). Makutu's Island has no affiliation with Disney. Even though the structure and design were done by Disney, it is now re-themed as Makutu's Island with our cute characters that include the jaguar cub Makutu and his friends. It is a unique tropical jungle themed as a Regional Entertainment. The centerpiece of Makutu’s Island is a magnificent indoor tree. The tree is filled with tunnels, tubes, mole-holes, and slides. Our facility offers hours of fun and adventure.

There really is stuff for the entire family to do. There’s an arcade, a cafe area, a toddler play area that only has one way in and one way out so your little cant get away from you. It was a good design. They had a giant treehouse, and when I found out I could climb up with my 3 and 5-year-olds, I was a little nervous at first, I’ll admit. But MAN! I had a blast! The slides actually shot ME out! There are mats set in all the right places, and it shot me back to childhood. My kids loved that I could play with them, and we enjoyed ourselves. The picture is inside one area of the tree.
