Traveling along the 11.8 miles of the Indian Bend Wash Path allows users to experience a variety of microclimates and landscapes. At 90 acres, this terminus of Indian Bend Wash is large, and offers room for big ideas to take root. Traversing through the Wash you are met with layers of green, with trees shading you throughout the Wash and various Sonoran Desert shrubs placed within basin areas creating rain gardens to soak up water runoff and assist in filtering rainwater as it travels down to Tempe Town Lake.

WERK prepared a conceptual Master Plan visioning document for the City of Tempe with a mission to enhance the quality of life of Tempe residents by nurturing their overall health and wellness, to enhance connectivity and access, to enhance environmental education and sustainability, and to create an environmentally and economically healthy resource in support of those goals. The conceptual master plan for Indian Bend Wash was developed to provide a vision of improved public space and public engagement, as well as introducing additional GSI functions, connecting the community with nature and with educational and recreational opportunities.
