Top Attractions in North Hills

North Hills Historical Museum Free

💡 Call ahead to check if the back room with the original stagecoach is open — it's sometimes locked. Allow 40 minutes max. Closed on Mondays.

North Hills Community Park Free

💡 The south-side bench under the mesquite tree has the best shade after 3pm. No water fountains at the far end, so bring your own bottle.

Sloan Park Skate Plaza Free

💡 Best on weekday mornings before 11am when it's empty. Helmets are free to borrow from the adjacent rec centre — just leave an ID. No lights, so closes at sunset.

Paseo de las Flores Trailhead Free

💡 Park at the small pull-off on Bell Road just east of 35th Avenue (free, no signs). The trail gets busy with cyclists on weekends, so walk facing traffic. No restrooms.

Lake Pleasant Regional Park
