Freestone Park was the Town of Gilbert’s first major District Park and began with 65 acres that opened to the public in June 1988. Original amenities were the softball fields, concession building & restrooms, “tot lot” exercise facility for adult fitness, 2 multiuse fields, and amphitheater.

Additional acreage was added over time, leading to the current total of 88 developed acres and 32 undeveloped acres. The original cost of the park was $3.2 million for the land and $3.5 million for the improvements.

Freestone Park is also host to “The Freestone Railroad which boasts a miniature train, antique carousel, and a mini Ferris wheel plus the Rip City Batting cages which were all added in 1992. Extra amenities added to the park have included volleyball & basketball courts plus a courtside ramada in 1996. Further construction in 2001 included the tennis courts and skate Park. Finally, the Freestone Recreation Center was opened north of the park in December 2002.

Having celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the park in 2013, Freestone underwent some major improvements including new basketball court surfacing, new ballfield lights and a new playground structure with shade. In 2015, a new playground structure was added to the ballfield area with wheelchair accessibility.

From running and walking to biking, fishing and more, SRP and our city partners have designed and constructed paths along the canals that offer everything from ADA-accessible routes and lights for evening strolls to commissioned public artwork.

Please remember that SRP canal trails, by their very nature, follow an open water source. Steer clear of the water’s edge and follow the canal safety tips outlined below. Responsible recreation ensures continued fun along some of Arizona’s best running trails and bike paths.


If you see a person or animal in the canal, call 911 for help. Never jump into a canal.


No swimming or water activities are allowed in the canals for safety reasons.


Stay away from all SRP equipment, including catwalks and delivery gates.

SRP partnered with Maricopa County to create the first recreational canal path, Sun Circle Trail, in 1964. Since then, cities throughout the Valley have partnered with SRP to build paved paths with lighting, landscaping and art.

Since 1964, SRP and city partners have developed over 80 miles of canal trails for Valley residents to enjoy. With lights, landscaping and public art, these paths are one of our greatest urban developments.

The Phoenix Mural Festival celebrated sustainability this year. Several artists were invited to paint murals along the Grand Canalscape pathways between 15th Avenue and 7th Street.

Canal Convergence brings the community together to experience interactive art and light exhibits along the Scottsdale Waterfront each November. It is proudly sponsored by SRP.
