Rio Salado Park is a big park in Tempe. It offers several restaurants, cafes, boat rentals, bicycle rentals, scooter rentals, and sometimes they will have fun events. This park is awesome for families, romantic dates, and night out with friends. This park is one of the most visited parks in AZ. I’d highly recommend!
