Peter.

Its fishing lagoons attract thousands of anglers each year. Visitors can rent paddle boats to set out on the park's waterways.

Encanto Park was built between 1935 and 1938 in what was then the northern part of the city. It has provided outdoor recreation for generations of Phoenicians from throughout the city. The land was purchased, designed and built jointly by the federal Works Progress Administration and the city of Phoenix. For several decades in and around the 1950s, a band shell at the park hosted concerts and cultural events that would attract thousands of spectators. The park also hosted fishing derbies at its signature lagoon that attracted hundreds of area youth. Phoenix voters approved numerous bond issues over the years to expand and improve the park.

There are many great houses for sale in the Encanto Palmcroft and Del Norte Historic area surrounding the Park, for more information visit us at www.myPHXagents.com or call today!
