Canal Park

1comment

Desert park with a lagoon surrounding an island. Walk around the lake and check out the men! Careful not to disturb the folks fishing. Occasional straight couples after dark, but rarely. Have seen cops once in a great while. Great in the ravines. 12/17/04 A cruiser reports: This park is ajacent to a regional water treatment facility. The city of Tempe has installed 24 hour surveillance cameras in the parking lot. Plus, due to Sept 11th type threats they have erected a guard house with gated entry. This is no longer a private place to play.

Etiquette

Guys on the island for quickies, out in the ravines and under the ramadas aftter dark for longer encounters.

2/1/2001 - Mounted police patrol, bike police patrol, patrol cars, plain cloths.... constant police presense... appears to be increasing by the day. Citizan patrols with cell phones. I consider it very dangerous... and getting worse. Will not go back!
