South Mountain Visitor Center serves as an education resource center for many of the City's school children, residents and visitors to South Mountain Park/Preserve. The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is excited to open the doors once again to visitors so they can learn about the rich wildlife and culture Phoenix has to offer.
