Welcome to White Tank Mountain Regional Park.

Nearly 30,000 acres makes this the largest regional park in Maricopa County. Most of the park is made up of the rugged and beautiful White Tank Mountains on the Valleys west side. The range, deeply serrated with ridges and canyons, rises sharply from its base to peak at over 4,000 feet. Infrequent heavy rains cause flash floodwaters to plunge through the canyons and pour onto the plain. These torrential flows, pouring down chutes and dropping off ledges, have scoured out a series of depressions, or tanks, in the white granite rock below, thus giving the mountains their name.

HOST PROGRAM
If you would like to volunteer at this park, we want to talk to you! In exchange for 20 hours of labor a week, you get free water and electrical hook-up, dump station privileges, and a covered site for your RV. If you're interested or would like more information, call 623.935.2505.
