Since it is in close proximity to the South Mountain, the South Mountain Park Preserve, the largest in the country, is very accessible to people looking for a hiking, biking and horse trail. You can also use the gateway of the village, a transit center called the Ed Pastor/South Mountain Village Transit Center which can accommodate up to seven bus routes. South Mountain Village is also home to numerous edifices with different historic and architectural styles such as Spanish, Pueblo, Tudor, English Cottage, and Mission.
An example of this is the Mystery Castle. Constructed between 1930-1945, this bizarre structure was built out of native stones and other scavenged materials.
