The trail and landscape improvements of the Sunnyslope Canal Demonstration Project enhance the comfort and accessibility of the Arizona Canal banks as a recreational amenity for the Sunnyslope community and provide a model for canal improvements in other areas of Phoenix. Key elements of the project include new landscaping and irrigation along the north and south banks of a 1.5-mile section of the canal; and open-air “rooms,” or small plazas where trail users can rest and enjoy the canal environment. These plazas, crafted from indigenous Arizona stone, conform to the character of the canal.
