Veterans Oasis Park in Chandler is more than simply a recreational area with grass and paths and a pond. This is actually an important part of the Chandler's reclaimed water processing where treated wastewater is redistributed to recharge basins in the area. That gave the city the opportunity to develop the park as a riparian and wetland habitat to share with the community.

Veterans Oasis Park opened to the public in 2008.

Veterans Oasis Park Factoid: The entire park covers about 113 acres, 78 acres of which are designed for groundwater recharge and wetlands.
