South Mountain State Park - Ahwatukee, Arizona

Situated in the foothills is the South Mountain State Park, the largest city owned park in the nation.  If you want to hike, horseback ride, play outdoor sports in an ideal setting then you will want to visit this community just outside of Phoenix.

The park offers 16,283 acres of native desert terrain.  The park’s lookout point rises over 1000 feet above the desert floor. Beyond the roads leading to ramadas and the summit, the park features 58 miles of trails for cycling, hiking and horseback riding. Much of the original park infrastructure was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the early 1930s.

The community is located south of central Phoenix.
