This park located in the sleepy bedroom-community of Gilbert is one for the extreme sports enthusiast. There is a great skate park, batting cages, sand volleyball courts, baseball and soccer fields alongside trails to ride horses. Across Juniper Street, there is a recreation center that allows visitors to rock climb, swim and dive in a massive Olympic sized swimming pool, all which are perfect to enjoy indoors out of the blistering sun.

Discovery District Park is a 48-acre (19.42-hectare) oasis of lush green fields and well-maintained picnic areas. This sprawling park in the heart of Gilbert is also home to two serene lakes that attract fishing enthusiasts from far-off corners of the city. The lakes' clean waters contain thriving populations of trout and catfish. Volleyball and basketball courts keep the sports lovers coming in, while well-marked jogging and walking trails make it a hit with fitness enthusiasts and those seeking some solace away from city bustle.
