Mill Avenue Bridge
Tempe Beach Park, the first Tempe park, was a popular spot in the 1900s. A baseball field, which opened in 1928, is surrounded by a historic cobble stone wall. The Tempe Town Lake, a 224 acre reservoir, opened in 1999 and extends about 2.5 miles long the water from the Salt River. Several bridges cross this man-made lake, including the Mill Avenue Bridge, a reinforced concrete arched bridge that opened in 1931. We walked to the end of the lake with a view of the Tempe Market Mall. It’s great to be walking in January.
