The mayors of Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale are forming a partnership with a local Indian tribe to help transform a popular Phoenix park into a desert jewel comparable to New York’s Central Park and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
The goals of the partnership between the cities and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community include promoting Papago Park’s historical and archaeological assets while exploring the grounds for still-uncovered Indian ruins, conserving land within the park, and turning it into a national center for ecotourism.
