Gilbert’s Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch has been honored as one of the top birding spots in Arizona and for its unique educational programs that allow residents to participate in preserving the natural habitat of the area.
The preserve was named one of the top three bird watching parks selected by Reader’s Choice in the 2010 edition of Experience Arizona, a travel guide. The park stood out for its habitat with educational programs that benefit the wildlife and allow residents to learn about nature and the more than 200 species of unique birds it attracts.
The preserve was built at a site originally intended to recharge water back into underground aquifers. The park is also designated an Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society.
The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch is located at Greenfield and Guadalupe roads and has a variety of summer programs including night and butterfly walks.
