Papago Park is a 1200 acre hilly desert park located about one mile directly West of Concord Village, and is the home to several of Phoenix's most visited natural playgrounds, including the Phoenix Zoo, the Desert Botanical Gardens, and Hole in the Rock. The park is sandwiched in between two public golf courses, the Rolling Hills Golf Course to the South and the Papago Golf Course to the North. Climbing up to Hole in the Rock for the best birds-eye view of Phoenix is a must-do for visitors to Phoenix, and visiting the Zoolights and the Desert Botanical tealights parade during Christmas is an annual tradition for many families. A family-friendly map of the Papago park is available for download as a PDF from the City of Phoenix.
