Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Discovery Station – Native peoples of the Desert

Stop by the covered tables before your evening hikes to learn about the Hohokam people that called the park home.

A table will be set up with artifacts found throughout the county park system including, stone tools, pottery, pelts, bones, etc. that would have been used by the native people living in the region. Feel free to ask questions and learn how to respect Native American sites in the park.

PLEASE NOTE: Outdoor summer programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather, including extreme heat events. The Maricopa County Parks website (www.maricopa.gov/parks) is the most accurate resource for verifying the program’s current status. Please check the program listing online before coming to the park.

*Please note: Entry to Spur Cross Conservation Area is $3 per person. Annual Pass or CASH only (exact change appreciated). Credit/Debit/Mobile not accepted.
