If you are in Phoenix and enjoy going on easy treks, then Papago Park is the place for you. With its sandstone buttes, marked paths and slight elevation, it is perfect for family hiking trips and there are plenty of easy mountain bike paths. The most notable attraction of the park is the hole in the rock formation, which formed over thousands of years most likely from water erosion. For the more adventurous, visitors can climb the face of the rock for an unparalleled view of Phoenix. Additionally, the park is close to famous attractions such as the Desert Botanical Garden and Phoenix Zoo.
Opened to the public in 2015, Riverview Park is a great place for recreational sports as it has shaded as well as open playing fields. The park regularly hosts various local sports competitions, luring decent crowds of spectators to its gates. Additional features of the park include rope climbing structures, climbing towers, picnic tables and restrooms. The park is the perfect place for a family picnic and they even give ramadas for rent which you need to reserve in advance. So, watch the lovely fountains, play a sport, or simply relax in the outdoors at Riverview Park.
