This hotspot was likely established to monitor the neighbourhood population of Rosy-faced Lovebird.  If you can’t find these in the park itself, look in palms and along utility lines across Hermosa, particularly on the corner of Hermosa and Manhatton.  You will likely hear them before you see them.  They often mix with European Starling.  The hotspot having been established only in 2019, eBird species-frequency charts are not based on dense data;  lists are especially sparse for summer months.

Rosy-faced Lovebird

This 4.6-acre urban park is separated by chain-link fence from a partially turfed schoolyard on its west.  North, across Hermosa, are mid-20th-century homes with mature vegetation.  Like most homes in the Tempe Gardens neighborhood, they tend to palms and desert landscaping in front, with bushes and an occasional citrus tree in the back.  Alleys run along the rear of properties.  East of the park are offices and small commercial enterprises, with little vegetation.  To the south, beyond a chain-link fence, is a high wall separating the neighborhood from the Highway 60 (Superstition Freeway) on ramp.

A variety of deciduous and evergreen trees dot the turfed park itself, which features a playground, shade structures covering picnic tables, barbeque grills, and numerous benches.  There are no restrooms at the park.  Accessible parking is available off Hermosa.
