Picnic At Lakeview Park, Sun City, AZ

Grandma Bunny thought it would be a good idea
to go to the park, for a picnic... My mom and sister
are in town and she thought we could go to the
park since it is so nice outside... Plus the kids
wouldn't have to sit still in a restaurant.
Here is Aunt Jacki, Sara, Megan and Tommy.
Here is Sara, Tommy and Megan at the
top of the hill, looking down at us. It
really is a beautiful park.
But FYI... Don't go if you have kids...
Long story, short... I don't think they like kids.

This is a black swan across the lake.

Some of the critters at the park were...
A turtle...

...Ducks

... And several lizards.

Here's the family...
Grandma Bunny, Sara, Tommy,
Grandma Bobbie, Megan and Aunt Jacki.
We had a really nice day... For the most part.
We had a little squabble with the park lady...
But that's a whole long story.... That's why I
suggest to not go to this park if you have
young children...
Otherwise... It was a nice day.

  2. Looks like fun! The last time we were there--this past June--it was WAY hot!!! We had all the Smith kids, plus an extra, but it was so hot there wasn't anybody else dumb enough to be out, so the mean park lady was at home with her A/C.

    1. STAY HOME. You obviously don't know how to behave yourself when you're a GUEST in MY HOME.

  4. What a crazy day. We have some funny memories of that day. Who would have ever thought you couldn't run in a park?

  5. We went here for a birthday picnic for one grandkid. We have a friend that lives in the Lakeview community and obtained an all day pass. It is mildly reminiscent of parts of Kyoto, (garden city) Japan. Very lush, green and tranquil right in the middle of town. The large pond with waterfall and serene dense greenery were exquisite. You'd never know it existed until you enter the park. Pedal Boating on the lake, relaxing, eating and drinking in the large shaded cabanas was so good. We also played miniature golf. Fun time for all, this place is a treasure for an all day getaway, all just minutes from home. Wonderful!

  6. Folks, I purchased my home here specifically so that I didn't have to deal with noise. This is a privately-owned park in a 55+ community. You have no rights here. You didn't plan it, you don't own it and you don't pay for it. If you don't like the rules, go to a public park. (And, if you do bring kids to LakeView Park, be prepared to ensure they are BETTER behaved then when at a restaurant. And, absolutely no dogs allowed, period, by the way.) Most people get that they are GUESTS in OUR HOME. Maybe next time, you should just stay home and let the "mean people" enjoy the park that WE PAY FOR.
