North Mountain Park with numerous trails is only about 2 miles away, with several trailheads to choose from. Cave Creek Golf Couse and the park and greenway by the same name are only about a mile away. The trail systems of North Mountain Park and Cave Creek connect seamlessly with MANY miles of trails across the city. Westown City Park is a couple blocks away, and a great spot to throw a frisbee or ball and catch the sunset. Cactus Park is about a mile away and has numerous soccer fields, basketball courts, and a sizeable children's playground. To top it all off, Castles n' Coasters theme park is just a few miles away. It is a fun, smaller park with a dozen or so rides, including a couple water rides, an extensive indoor video game arcade, and four 18-hole mini golf courses. We were surprised how much fun we had taking family and friends there! Rates are very reasonable.
