Phoenix purchased the original 13,000 acres of South Mountain Park from the federal government in 1924 for 17,000. A large number of the structures and trails were built in the park throughout the ‘30s. Today, visitors enjoy more than 50 miles of trails suitable for hiking, as well as riding bikes and horses.

Cashman Park is a handicapped enabled park with a shaded playground. Picnickers can enjoy three ramadas, each of which is equipped with a grill. There are also restrooms and a drinking fountain. Those who enjoy sports can play on lighted basketball and sand volleyball courts.
