Nature Center Hours:

The DISCOVERY CENTER is open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm. **The Discovery Center will be closed on Memorial Day weekend. Staff are being diverted to the entry stations to assist with high-volume traffic.**

PARK WATER LEVELS: Despite a Tier 1 shortage declaration for Colorado River operations that began on Jan. 1, 2026, CAP is not expecting the Lake Pleasant water level to be significantly impacted in 2026. CAP expects the lake level to go down, but not outside normal historical operating ranges. There is a lot of uncertainty after 2026, making it difficult to project lake levels beyond this year. CAP will provide more information as it becomes available. Updated 2/8/2026

Park Hours
Main entrance: May 1 to October 31 - 5 am to 9 pm daily / November 1 to April 30 - 6 am to 8 pm daily / Please visit the Park Updates page for additional updates: https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/park-updates/.
