1. Gilbert Regional Park
First I’m sharing with you Gilbert Regional Park

It’s a spectacular park that offers fun for the whole family!
You can play pickle ball, basketball, volleyball & tennis.
And you've got to checkout the 7 acre lake that’s stocked with fish for those who enjoy fishing.
And if you feel like walking, there's a 1 mile walking path that goes around the lake.
There’s tons of play areas for the kids. Definitely checkout the Mountain, it’s a 17 foot tall playground that has 3 different climbing levels, slides, swings and a zip line.
There’s a huge splash pad that has tons of interactive water features and where they reuse & recirculate all the water.
And there’s a tots playground that’s great for the smaller toddler kids.
What’s really cool is the amphitheater in the grass where they have events that can host up to 5000 people. So definitely look it up online as they are always hosting tons of fun events.
Make sure you bring a lunch or snacks and plan a day of fun here at the park!

Now we are at San Tan Village. It’s an incredible outdoor shopping center.

You can find a variety of stores from the big box retailers such as Macy’s, Best Buy, Total Wine & Apple store.
I enjoy shopping at the small boutique shops to find unique gifts. And grabbing a meal with family & friends at one of the sit down restaurants.
Coming here can be fun for everyone as there's an outdoor playgrounds & splash pad.
When the weather is nice in Arizona all of us just want to live outside. Which is one of the reasons i love coming here.. gives me the the opportunity to be outdoors while shopping at all the unique stores.

Now let’s explore Downtown Gilbert. All the locals call it Heritage District. It is the historic and cultural downtown center for Gilbert.

This area has become one of the hottest places to go out and eat at as there's a great mix of restaurants. It has become known as one of the top foodie neighborhoods in Arizona.
My husband and I love coming here and enjoying a good meal on date night. We love all the variety of restaurants available.
If you’re looking for a unique place to enjoy drinks at I highly the underground Speakeasy the White Rabbit and the new roof top bar called Sotol.
On Saturdays there is a farmers markets. you can buy locally-grown produce from Arizona farmers and support the local artists that sell their goods.
If you are looking for some art & culture.. There’s a great theater that has live performances plus there are art galleries.
If you’re looking for one of a kind items there are boutiques and specialty stores selling furniture, locally-crafted art, antiques, seasonal gifts and unique merchandise you can’t find anywhere else.

It’s a wonderful park with fun for everyone.

One of the favorite activities for the kids is the miniature train you can ride around the park, plus there’s an antique carousel, and a mini Ferris wheel.
And if you want to practice your baseball swing there are Batting cages.
5. Riparian Preserve
Our final destination is The Riparian Preserve it’s a beautiful place to come and enjoy nature.

The Town of Gilbert wanted to combine water conservation with wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities. This led to the development of the Riparian Preserve in 1999.
There are hiking and equestrian trails that provide an opportunity for wildlife and bird watching. The preserve is Considered the premier bird watching facility in all of Phoenix metro region.
There’s an observatory that's a fun way to observe the stars. They often have events such a star parties.
Many families come and enjoy the picturesque scenery and take their family photos at the preserve.
It’s truly a beautiful place to enjoy especially during sunset time.
