Arizona State Parks

Celebrate Earth Day surrounded by Arizona’s stunning landscapes—when you experience these beautiful places, it’s clear why protecting them matters. Arizona’s state parks are hosting guided nature walks, stargazing nights, live music performances, and educational programs to help you explore and appreciate nature while learning about conservation.

Arizona artists, immerse yourself in nature! Applications for the award-winning Arizona State Parks Artist in Residence program are open until May 6, 2025. This award-winning initiative allows Arizona artists to immerse themselves in one of the state's most inspiring natural settings while creating new work.

One of the state’s most visited parks is now the namesake of a new craft beer. Arizona State Parks and Trails and Historic Brewing Company have teamed up to create a limited-edition specialty brew inspired by the scenic beauty and rich history of Slide Rock State Park in Sedona. To mark the occasion, Slide Rock State Park will host a tasting event on April 11, 2025, with proceeds benefitting the Friends of Slide Rock State Park.
