Located on the Salt River Pima - Maricopa Indian Reservation, Riverwalk at Talking Stick is a great example of a microclimate landscape. Riverwalk’s maintained microclimate allows both people and animals to enjoy a longer cooler period during the hot and sunny Arizona day. When walking, parking or just visiting Riverwalk you will notice the calmness created from the all-natural condition of the plants, trees and most importantly the meandering river. Siteworks has implemented a hand trim policy to help the plants maintain a healthy and natural look. Riverwalk is a desert oasis with an abundance of Palo Verde trees. These native, low water trees create a shaded area along the river that benefits both people and native animals.
