Steele Indian School Park, Park in Phoenix, United States
Steele Indian School Park is a public park in central Phoenix, United States. It covers a large area with open lawns, paved paths, and a small lake, and it sits on the grounds of a former boarding school.
The site was home to the Phoenix Indian School from the late 19th century until it closed in the 1980s. The park opened in 2001 after the land was converted, and some original buildings remain.
The name honors the Native American children who attended the school that once stood here. Today, the park serves as a gathering place for nearby residents, who come for walks, picnics, and community events.
The park is easy to reach by car or public transit, with entrances on several sides. Visitors can walk or cycle along the paths, and benches and shade trees offer places to rest.
The park still contains a few buildings from the school era, including a auditorium and a band building. These structures are now used for community activities and can be seen while walking through the grounds.
