<strong>Red</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>State</strong> Park is a 286 acre nature<br />

preserve and environmental education center<br />

park wind through manzanita and juniper to<br />

meadows are framed by native vegetation<br />

and hills of red rock. The creek meanders<br />

through the park, creating a diverse riparian<br />

habitat abounding with plants and wildlife.<br />

This riparian habitat provides the setting and<br />

the opportunity for the park to offer a focus<br />

on environmental education.<br />

The park offers a variety of special programs<br />

for school groups and private groups. Check<br />

with the Visitor Center for daily and weekly<br />

park events, includings hikes & programs.<br />

classroom, theater, regional displays, gift<br />

shop, picnic tables, 10 developed trails,<br />

restrooms, and group area with Ramada<br />

and facilities. Restrooms are handicapped<br />

accessible. Camping facilities are not<br />

available at this day use park.<br />

The property was acquired by the <strong>Arizona</strong><br />

<strong>State</strong> <strong>Parks</strong> Board in 1986 and the park was<br />

opened to the public in 1991.
