The Encanto Park Boathouse was completed in 1936 with architectural design by Lescher and Mahoney, and Peper Construction Company.  The boathouse was built as a concession for paddle boats and canoes.  The Encanto Park lagoon was the first recreational water feature developed in a local public park in Phoenix.

The architectural style is Spanish Mission Period Revival and was a Public Works Administration depression era project.

Del Norte Place Neighborhood Association has the opportunity to continue its meetings in 2025 at the Phoenix College Willo Conference Room.  Phoenix College has been generous to provide this space free of any charges and we gratefully appreciate their support. 

However, we also have been granted approval to use the Encanto Boat House as an alternative location for our Association Meetings courtesy of Phoenix Parks and Recreation.  It is also s nice place at zero expense. AND CLOSER TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.  With its proximity within walking distance, we look forward to using the Boat House as well.

The free ALLEY House Number Painting has been finished to coincide with the free STREET House Number Painting
