Margaret T. Hance Park

The Phoenix Chinese Festival on the eastern end of the park, in 2016

Margaret T. Hance Park is a public park above the Papago Freeway Tunnel in Phoenix, Arizona. It is named after Margaret Hance, who was the first female mayor of the city and advocate for the park. The park is located next to the Phoenix Center For The Arts, Ro Ho En, and Kenilworth Elementary School. In 2016, it was announced that the park would undergo a ten-year $118 million face lift, which would add an Amphitheatre and skate park, amongst other things.[1] As a part of the fixes, two historic trolleys will be moved from their current spot at the Phoenix Trolley Museum to an unknown location.[2][3]
