Located in North Mesa, the Park of the Canals preserves both local history and terrain. Hohokam Indians inhabited many different regions throughout Arizona over 2,000 years ago, becoming one of the most prominent cultures in the Southwest and lending to the area's significance. Particularly special, the Hohokam people are credited with providing a canal system from the Salt River. The modern metropolitan city still relies on the pathways of this ancient canal structure. The park also features a mini botanical garden, information center, playground, and picnic tables for your convenience and enjoyment.
The scenic Paseo Trail covers a distance of 6.5 miles (10.46 kilometers) on Consolidated Canal's eastern end in Chandler. The trail remains popular with cycling and horse riding enthusiasts.
