The 110‐acre West Wetlands Park is a jewel and beloved by the citizens of Yuma. The 30 acres of the “lower bench” are restored with native trees and grasses, and an additional 30 acres of the “upper bench” are developed with a lake, picnic ramadas, parking, lighting, and landscaping. There is a boat launch and boat trailer parking area off of Centennial Beach. A statue memorializing the 1st Iowa Volunteers also known as the Mormon Battalion is found on the walking trails. The Arizona Public Service Solar Demonstration Garden, Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden, and a burrowing owl habitat are also features of the West Wetlands Park. The West Wetlands Pond and the surrounding lawn area are available for recreational use. The pond is 15 ft deep at the center and is regularly stocked with a variety of game fish by partners, Arizona Game & Fish Department.
