Sahuaro Ranch Park

It was a beautiful place. There are many sections you can enjoy based on what you're looking for. There are areas for playing sports, areas of big open lawns for miscellaneous activities. A historical walk area, rose garden and the picnic tables are covered and have covered grilling with vent hoods! I saw 1 peacock that seemed walked through the picnic area with a lot of people there. Supposedly there are more.

Fascinating! Lovely and quiet to walk around the whole ranch. The flock of peacocks is no longer resident at the Park. Apparently, the flock was expected to be 500 peacocks 'soon' and there is/will be an overwhelming maintenance issue. So disappointing: it is unknown why there was not a few kept to keep the tradition and start a new small flock! The original home and outbuildings are great to see from outside. And all was free. Unfortunately, there are no guides or helpers but it is free to walk the grounds. Lots of free parking was available! And bonus: what was originally a very large stable building had a free judged art exhibit today, Wednesday, January 28th, 2026. It runs to the 31st but then it will be gone! Excellent art gathered from Arizona artists only; and one of the artists was there today: she was a treasure trove of information!

I'm not from Phoenix. I'm just visiting my son. So we went here. There are signs up educating you to what is in front of you for everything that is there. Details the history very well. There are also maps up letting you know where are currently and where other things are located. There were plenty of people around but not so many that it felt crowded. They're was a variety of birds there. Even some chickens, not sure what kind. Some peacocks were there as well!!! I didn't get to see all of it because of the heat wave. A little too hot even for Phoenix at this time of year. I was really happy to see some history that I could actually touch instead of just looking at a picture. I really enjoyed that. Thank you for such a pleasant visit.

Such a fun time there. The peacocks are hilarious...they had beef with each other & sounded like donkeys when they were fighting🤣 The rose garden was beautiful and grounds were well kept. Boarded up historic buildings were low key creepy lol

Sahuaro Ranch Park was a fantastic spot for family portraits. We came out to take photos and it ended up being the perfect backdrop—lots of great scenery and space to capture special moments without feeling rushed or crowded. If you’re looking for a classic park setting for pictures (or just an easy outing), this place really delivers. The only reason it’s 4 stars instead of 5 is cleanliness. It’s clearly a real asset for the city, and with a bit more consistent upkeep it could easily be a true five-star park. That said, we still had a great experience and would absolutely come back.

Saguaro Ranch Park has been a special place in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up coming here as a child, and now I have had the privilege of bringing my own children here for years as well. It is one of those rare places that holds generations of memories. Over the years, we’ve spent countless afternoons enjoying the beautiful grounds, having Sunday BBQs with family, celebrating birthday parties, exploring the large playgrounds, and watching the excitement of the Fourth of July fireworks. One of my children’s favorite traditions has always been seeing the peacocks that wander through the park. It never gets old. The park is spacious, well-maintained, and offers something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a place to relax under the trees, let the kids run and play, gather with family and friends, or simply enjoy a little piece of Glendale history, Saguaro Ranch Park is truly a gem. Some of my happiest childhood memories were made here, and now some of my children’s happiest memories are being made here too. That makes this park incredibly special to our family. We are so grateful to have such a beautiful community treasure right here in Glendale.

Nice historical place with a huge front yard to sit on and enjoy a lunch! Even had a play area for kids. Walk around read the historical markers and learn about your local history as I do fun place to go.

Lovely desert rock garden just outside the library. Lots of peacocks which have a healthy wariness of people. Great grounds to walk around on.
