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.

If you're interested in rollerblading then check out the long, thin sidewalks at Vista del Camino Park in Scottsdale. You'll be able to whiz along at top speed while others enjoy the park's other amenities, such as softball and skating. Everyone in the family will find something to do here.
