Surprise is also the proud home of Ottawa University offering an exceptional educational experience and more than 20 collegiate sports programs! Go Spirit! The White Tank Mountains, on our western border, features trails ranging from easy to strenuous, and overnight camping under clear Arizona skies is a great way to enjoy the largest county-owned park in the United States.
