"We Love Esperanza Estates" Green Valley, Arizona 85614

Our Parks

   When Earl Whigham developed Esperanza Estates in the 1970's, he set aside a lot of land for the establishment of small parks which are sprinkled throughout the subdivision.

   Some have benches. Some have picnic tables. One even has electricity. All are now named and signed.

   Here's a photo of Esperanza Estates Park with the flags of the United States and Arizona unfurling in the midmorning breeze.

   Bridge Park is located in the Western end of Esperanza Estates. It was apparently named for the rock
decorations formed into the shape of hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs, by former resident Glen Stednitz.

   Mesquite Park used to be called Holgado Park. There was a contest recently to rename this park. You can read about it in the newsletter.

   It seems to make more sense to name the park after the trees that are in the park, rather than the adjacent street.

   At the Southeast corner of Esperanza Estates is a small area now designated as Mountain View Park. Some folks (me) walk through this park on their way to Walgreen's to pick up a newspaper.

   Whigham Wash is a small park next to the original home of Earl Whigham. It provides beauty and function since it serves as a wash or drainage area during the Summer rains.

   Most of the time, it's just a pretty little park with trees and cholla cactus.

   Finally, we come to Wishing Well Park. Not a large park, but very aptly named.

   This concludes our tour of some of the parks in Esperanza Estates. While you are here, why not toss a coin into the well? Your wish just might come true!
