Waaay back in Mesa Canals 4, I rode the Eastern Canal from where it crosses Gilbert Road to where it crosses University Avenue. At the time, I was interested in distance, but when I rode it yesterday, I discovered a little nugget, on the west bank of the canal south of 8th Street/Adobe. Easily reachable from the canal path, just north of an apartment complex is a small park, with synthetic climbing rocks. It's just big enough for smaller folks, and not too hard to climb (unless you're wearing cleated shoes). Right, see my detail map to the park in Google earth, and, below, a picture of the climbing rocks themselves. Kudos to the city for this park!
