Steele Indian School Park - Phoenix

Palm-lined walkway

The Phoenix Indian School operated from 1891-1990. It was purchased by the city of Phoenix in 1996 and re-opened as a park in 2001. A wide concrete walkway, called The Circle of Life, encircles the 3 remaining buildings of the Indian School. To the south of this walkway is the Entry Garden, which is a representation of Sonora Desert plants.

Disrepair in Indian School - these pictures were taken through windows, so I apologize for any glare or fuzziness.

I didn't, but I'm such a Cretin that I may have overlooked it.
