Welcome to Lake Pleasant Regional Park.

One of the most scenic water recreation areas in the “Valley of the Sun,” this northwest Valley park is a recreationist’s dream. The park offers many activities, such as camping, boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, picnicking, and wildlife viewing. 

At the Lake Pleasant Visitor Center, guests learn about the history of the area and desert wildlife. Step out onto the balcony surrounding the Visitor Center to get a beautiful view of Lake Pleasant and an up-close look at Waddell Dam. 

The breathtaking views offer visitors a great place to relax, whether it is from a boat or shoreline picnic site.

Lake Pleasant Regional Park offers two group picnic areas for large group picnics, weddings, birthday parties, and office parties. The ramadas all have lights, electrical outlets, cement slabs, large grills and parking areas nearby.

These ramadas can be reserved for a fee in four-hour increments. To schedule a group picnic, contact the Events Coordinator at 602-372-7460 ext. 200. If not marked as reserved, they are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
