Return to an earlier time when you visit Sahuaro Ranch Park, a lovely historic park built in the 1890s. Seven original buildings set on 16-acres are home to rabbits, chickens and peacocks. Originally a citrus farm founded by William Henry Bartlett, the ranch is now a Glendale City Park. Tour the main house and view exhibits of years past. The park is open to visitors daily.

Great free place to visit. Beautiful aroma in the spring. This has walking access from the nearby park and the library if you go there to see the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. Old buildings with very good explanations and signs that are in good shape. They also have some QR codes so you can watch a corresponding YouTube video or get more information on the buildings. Peafowl and pigeons roam the area and I did see a few rabbits as well.The buildings were closed when we went, but there is plenty to see by walking around. They did have a free restroom on site as well as one in the park. They do have tours of the ranch house on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month from October to May. There is an onsite office that is staffed by the Glendale Arizona Historical Society from 1000-1300 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
MoreThis is a free exhibit. Unfortunately, at the time of our visit all the buildings were closed to the public and we later learned that due to the time of year, the properties were only open at weekends with guides. We were able to wander round the grounds and were surprised to see dozens of peacocks roaming around the grounds.
MoreWe took two great strolls through this park while we were visiting the Glendale community college. The old farmhouse was interesting to see, and I enjoyed doing some birdwatching. I expect at certain times of the year, the rose gardens are quite nice. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to visit this park, but do recommend it if you are in the area.
MoreWe visited in fall time and enjoyed the antique setting of the farm, tools and beautiful peacocks that roam the grounds, very peaceful afternoon,
MoreThis park has many buildings that used to be a ranch in the early 1900s. There is no admission, parking is free & it is open during daylight hours. All of the buildings have detailed descriptions of what they were used for. There are also several pieces of old farm equipment scattered about the park. Besides having the buildings & machinery, there are gardens, picnic areas, & other things you would normally find in a city park. This is a nice place to visit.
