I love living in Gilbert, AZ for many reasons. Gilbert has a great first impression because the common areas and road medians are professionally landscaped. They are so well kept due to mandated upkeep and regular maintenance. The Parks and Recreation Dept has done a great job of managing and maintaining the city parks and other recreational facilities. Freestone Park has got to be one of the most beautiful and talked about parks in the area. It has wide open areas for playing and picnicking, it has softball and baseball fields, it has a skate park, tennis courts, volleyball and basketball courts. There is a children’s train ride, a party and recreation area and an amphitheater. Gilbert, AZ continues to have a small town feel but is very close to all that the Phoenix metro has to offer.
