Local Environmental & Cultural History

Explore Tempe's Desert Heritage

This assemblage of local environmental and cultural resources reflects on the rich character, history and heritage of both Tempe and the Salt River Pima and Maricopa Indian Community.

While some facilities have scheduled hours and tours, many of the associated park sites are open to the public on a daily basis. We encourage you to visit this amazing destination and explore our local history and desert heritage while considering how these narratives reflect on a sustainable future.
