Arizona is home to some beautiful places and even our city parks are quite lovely. If you’re looking for a park that stands out from the rest, then you’ll want to check out this one located in Scottsdale.
McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park is located at the southeast corner of Scottsdale and Indian Bend Roads in Scottsdale.
As the park's name hints, the element that makes this park so unique are the trains. Home to historic locomotives, the Scottsdale Railroad Museum, model trains, and small versions to ride around the park.
Let’s start with the trains! These are two of the historic steam engines you can find in the park but you’ll also get to find an old Pullman car and historic boxcar.
One of the newest attractions here is the model railroad building. Here, you will find several model railroads and trains that are fascinating to watch!
