UNIQUELY CHANDLER Chandler is unlike any other destination in metro Phoenix. It’s inviting, vibrant and diverse, and that’s just how Dr. Alexander “A.J.” Chandler envisioned it in 1912. He wanted to create a community filled with monumental buildings and framed by parks and green spaces. That vision has come to pass.

Today, visitors and residents alike are attracted to Chandler’s energy and charm.

FAMILY FUN With 62 parks and six aquatic centers, Chandler has plenty of green spaces and water playgrounds for kids.

Whether you have a family of toddlers, tweens, teens or a combination of all three, there’s plenty here to keep a smile on everyone’s face!

Kids can see living desert creatures like snakes and scorpions (all in cages, thankfully!) at Veterans Oasis Park’s Environmental Education Center or have an “urban fishing” experience at the park’s lake and other lakes throughout Chandler.

Tots can ride an open-air train or a carousel while their older siblings play disc golf or try their skill in an archery center. There are play zones at most parks—one even has a replica of a 1920s-style Chandler ranch.

and pedal boats. If you have more time, head out on the Apache Trail to Saguaro or Canyon lakes for a day of kayaking. Tubing the Salt River also is a popular pastime in the summer months, May through September.

HORSEBACK RIDING

San Tan Mountain Regional Park

Be sure to apply plenty of sun screen, wear appropriate footwear – no flip flops or sandals no matter how hot it is – and stay hydrated. Even if you don’t feel thirsty, drink plenty of water.

With more than 330 days of sunshine and the beautiful Sonoran Desert terrain, Chandler is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who like to hike, bike, cycle, horseback ride, kayak and more! Most regional parks and trails are open from sunrise to sunset, but check online before heading out for any activity and always let someone know where you’re going and when to expect you back.

HIKING

You might be surprised that National Geographic has named metro Phoenix one of the nation’s top 15 cities for hiking, but you’ll understand why once you get out on our trails.

Both San Tan Regional Park and South Mountain Park offer trails of varying difficulty, including hikes with city views. Further out, Camelback Mountain, North Mountain Preserve and McDowell Sonoran Preserve are great options.

Always bring plenty of water and dress appropriately before heading out.

MOUNTAIN BIKING

Take advantage of chandler’s sunny days.

visitChandler.com

Some of the area’s best hiking destinations also are great for mountain biking.

San Tan Mountain Regional Park and South Mountain Park both are known for their challenging, scenic mountain bike trails. So is the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. For a change of pace, so to speak, try the McDowell Mountain Regional Park. It has three, five-mile

competitive mountain bike loops (one for beginners, one for intermediate riders and one for experts), for a total of 15 miles.

Live out your dream of being a cowboy (or cowgirl) in Chandler. At the Koli Equestrian Center, ride next to your friends and loved ones – no nose-to-tail riding here – as you explore the Gila River Indian Reservation. Or, hit the trails of South Mountain Park with Ponderosa Stables. You also can ride at Saguaro Lake Ranch Stables and the Stables at Fort McDowell.

PASEO VISTA TRAIL

A 6.5-mile, multi-use pathway, the Paseo Trail

runs along the Consolidated Canal from Galveston Street south to Riggs Road. You can walk, jog or bicycle the paved eastern side, or bicycle or horseback ride on the unimproved path on the western side of the canal. Parking is available at Tibshraeny Family Park and Tumbleweed Park.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN PARK

When National Geographic named Phoenix one of the nation’s best hiking cities, the magazine specifically mentioned South Mountain Park – the largest municipal park in the world – and its network of roughly 58 miles of trails suitable for hiking, trail running, horseback riding and mountain biking. Javelina Canyon Trail, which begins at the Beverly Canyon parking lot at 46th Street, is the easiest trail.

For a panoramic view of the entire Valley, hike (or drive) the 5.5 miles up Summit Road to Dobbins Lookout.

SAN TAN REGIONAL PARK

A little over a half hour drive from Downtown Chandler, this regional park is one of Maricopa County’s best kept secrets.

Hike to the three-mile Goldmine Trail for a bird’s eye view of Phoenix, Queen Creek and San Tan Valley. The park also is extremely popular with mountain bikers who like to test themselves on the 5.1-mile San Tan Trail as well as horseback riders and picnickers.

KOLI EQUESTRIAN CENTER

Experience the Sonoran Desert as Native Americans have for centuries during a

horseback ride at the Koli Equestrian Center on the Gila River Indian Reservation. Four 90-minute rides leave throughout the day from September through May; rides are shortened to 60 minutes during the summer and are limited to morning and evening times.

Ages 6 and up and beginning riders are welcome.

TEMPE TOWN LAKE

This two-mile-long, manmade lake adjacent to the Arizona State University campus and Papago Park is perfect for watersports.

You can rent kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, pedal boats and even electric boats here. Or, if you’d rather stick to land, try walking, jogging or bicycling the pathways surrounding the lake.

CYCLING

If you prefer smoother ground when you cycle, the Paseo Vista Trail’s 6.5-mile paved trail is a great option.

Extend your ride further along the Consolidated Canal on the 18-mile path that continues from Chandler through Gilbert and into Mesa. Or, take advantage of Chandler’s 327 miles of paved bike lanes and paths.

Daredevil riders can test their skills at the Chandler Bike Park, the Valley’s only public, no-charge facility for BMX, Freestyle and Grind.

KAYAKING

Chandler may be located in the Sonoran Desert, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy kayaking and other water sports. At Tempe Town Lake, near the Arizona State University campus, you can rent kayaks, stand-up paddleboards
