text: I have spent many hours at Papago Park next to the Phoenix Zoo My family went there often in the s and s I have read from many books while relaxing at this park Make sure you have water with you especially in the summer months There are trails to hike or bike There is HoleintheRock to hike and to enjoy views of the city Phoenix Scottsdale Tempe There are lakes for fishing as well although I have never fished there I will upload some photos to give a better idea of what is available at the park
