Zanjero Park
If you enjoy watching the only owl species that lives underground, check out the burrowing owl habitat and future observatory at Zanjero Park. Zanjero Park is one of our many treasures. It is located on Lindsey Road just south of the Loop 202 Freeway. The 20-acre park offers a 1-mile trail for horseback riding including hitching posts and water troughs. There is also a multi-use trail which links to the San Tan Trail. The best part of all though is the Burrowing Owl habitat along with many other beautiful birds. Check out our Facebook page to participate in owl walk and talks presented by the Desert Rivers Audubon Society.
Public Pools
Gilbert’s public pools, open seasonally May – August, offer a family fun way to beat the summer heat.
Bicycle Trails
Gilbert, named a Bicycle Friendly Community, is well known for its Central Trail System that offers 135 miles of enjoyment for outdoor enthusiasts. Along with equestrian tracks are more than 54 miles of marked bike trails where you can ride along the canals.
There are three trail systems running north-south—Heritage Trail, Santan Vista Trail, and Marathon Trail—and one that runs east-west (Western Powerline Trail). They connect to most of Gilbert’s parks and parallel the Valley’s canal system maintained by the Salt River Project. The trail experience is enhanced by pocket parks that offer shade, drinking fountains, ramadas, and other recreational features. One ramada, that borders the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch, depicts the famous Da Vinci Flying Machine and features quotes from the masters of astronomy.
