Oracle State Park

Oracle State Park is a state park of Arizona, USA, preserving 3,948 acres (1,598 ha) in the northeastern foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The park is named after the nearby town of Oracle. Oracle State Park serves as a wildlife refuge, but has been closed to public access since October 2009 due to state budget cutting. In October 2011 Arizona State Parks agreed to reopen Oracle on a limited basis with a $40,000 budget if the park’s Friends group can raise $21,000 in additional funds. The park has more than 15 miles (24 km) of hiking trails, including 7 miles (11 km) of the Arizona Trail.
