Review & FAQ:

Papago Park is a city park in Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona. Consisting of 1,200 acres in Phoenix and 296 acres is Tempe, the park is a hilly area known for its red sandstone formations, its giant saguaro cacti and other desert plants, small lakes, biking paths, hiking trails, and much more. The Hole-in-the-Rock is a well-known landmark that was possibly used by early Native Americans to follow the annual solstices. Hunt’s tomb is found in the park: built in 1931, former Governor Hunt and his family members are buried here: it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There are also baseball fields, the Desert Botanical Garden, and the Phoenix Zoo.
