Tempe Beach Park

WONDERFUL LAKESIDE PARK! I'm a huge fan of Tempe Beach Park, it's got great views of the lake and sidewalk trails for scooters, bikes, and joggers. The park is welcoming to all, locals, visitors, college students, families, and the elderly. I saw a great mix of folks enjoying a good view and walk. You'll see the Tempe skyline and Tempe's iconic bridges during your visit. I spotted a few ducks and wildlife, it was very peaceful. I was super tempted to sit at a park bench and just admire, but alas we came to walk! ASU's arts center is right in front of the water so if you're majoring in theatre, you've got great surroundings. Parking is a little hard to find, but once you find it it's super accessible and close to the water. I'd say parking was around $10 for us, not bad at all. If you're not in the mood for parking a car or walking, there's scooters for rent. My mom spotted paddle crafts for anyone wanting to get in the water. Tempe Beach Park has a neat grass area (also in front of the water). Note: There's one bridge that allows you access to the other side of the lake. We took the walking path from Tempe Beach Park and were able to get across easily to take a look at the lake from another angle!

Lots of open space which was green as well. Designed for walkers, runners, skater, others using wheels and walking sticks. I definitely recommend. I saw people paddling with ease and a photo shoot. I went for a skating class. I plan on returning to enjoying other activities. Ample parking.

I visited briefly and came on a Sunday - parking is metered (pay through Park Mobile) but the app said it's free on weekends. I walked along the Tempe Town Lake; there were several people running, biking, or walking dogs. The foot bridge across the water is nice. Also Tempe School of the Arts is on the south side of the lake. I didn't have enough time to explore the splash park or try a boat rental as others recommended here, but it's a pretty area.

Beautiful park. Downtown Tempe is gorgeous! I went to this park for a sporting event, there were actually two major sporting events happening at the same time, an ASU football game and an Ironman race, but it wasn’t hard finding a place to park. Parking garages are affordable, especially if you’re spending an entire day like we did for the Ironman. I would imagine that this park is a good place to spend a relaxing day with family or by yourself, a good place to exercise and enjoy the scenery while doing so.

Actually this was Tempe Centre for The Arts. What a magnificent facility! Went to see my cousin perform in a play! This sits on Tempe Beach Park! On the lake! So amazing and Beautiful here!

The perfect place for adults,kids and pets. Whether you want a workout or just a romantic walk by the lake this is the place to go to. They offer day activities as well as beautiful views at night. In this AZ heat take advantage of the late hours. Open until midnight.

We went for the Christmas parade, was not what I expected, but still nice. We do enjoy the park and have rented boats there, walk there and enjoy different events

Beautiful atmosphere. Just worth it. Parking is about 2$ with some change for an hr. Many things to do
