At over 16,000 acres, South Mountain Park and Preserve is one of the largest municipal parks in the country. Start a visit at the South Mountain Environmental Education Center, hike, bike and ride more than 58 miles of trails, or follow the road to the top of the mountain for spectacular views.
You can also find some unexpected attractions like Mystery Castle , or check out some nearby dining after a hike.
Every Sunday, South Mountain observes "Silent Sunday," where the park's main roadway will be closed to motor vehicle traffic at the one-mile mark into the park from 5 to 10 a.m. on the first, second, third and fifth Sunday; and from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. (park operating hours) on the fourth Sunday. During those times on those days, the park's roadways are reserved for non-motorized activities such as walking, cycling, jogging, hiking, etc.
