Rio Salado Park
4.2 (83)park
A restored Salt River wetland laced with quiet trails, bringing desert wildlife and bird habitats right into Phoenix.
Description






The park was created by transforming a former industrial and neglected area along the river into a major environmental restoration project, also known as the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area. Its multi-use trails accommodate runners, cyclists, and horseback riders alongside walkers. While the setting provides accessible outdoor recreation close to the city, visitors note that the paths offer limited shade.
