Lost Dutchman is nice, but you may as well drive to Canyon Lake if you are going that far. LD Park is maybe 40 minutes from the airport in good traffic.
I'm sorry, I just had to respond on seeing this quote. Bad part of town? It's a beautiful extremely safe park barely 3-5 minutes from Downtown Tempe.
Truly, it's as safe as anywhere( which of course doesn't mean 100%, but good enough for govt. work). Also in re-reading past notes, I have to second the burger at Chuck Box( although I haven't been in a while). However, if you want the real AZ/Tempe food experience go a block over to Restaurant Mexico and have the cheese enchiladas with green sauce and a taco suave.
