 * Symbol confirmed.svg Cute hook! 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. You may wish to change the URL for this fact to the History page, which actually talks about the activities you describe. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 01:30, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Pulled from Queue, reopened, discussed at WT:DYK. The park (and e.g. the flying club) are not in Deer Valley, but in neighbouring Glendale. Fram (talk) 09:41, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Copied from WT:DYK:
 * The dam and recreation area are located in Deer Valley. This can be verified if you look at the map in REF3. I have duplicated that ref after the sentence that says "The Adobe Dam Regional Park ... is located here." It has a postal address of Glendale, Arizona but in the US, postal addresses do not directly correlate to municipal jurisdictions in many cases. The area was assigned to Glendale by the US Postal Service before it was annexed into (Deer Valley) Phoenix when it was still an unincorporated part of the county. It's postal address will remain forever Glendale although it is actually located in Phoenix. The hook is correct as is. MB 8:38 am, Today (UTC−7)
 * I believed everything is resolved. See WT:DYK MB 18:42, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
