On Wednesday, the Phoenix City Council approved a pilot program to add overnight security to 11 city parks, along with Cholla Trail at Camelback Mountain.Supporters say unarmed security is needed to enforce park rules and call police on illegal activities like drug use if people don’t leave. Councilmembers Jim Waring and Yassamin Ansari shared different opinions.
Cholla Trail is supposed to be open from sunrise to sunset. But neighbors have filmed hikers making their way up the trail in the dark, with flashlights.
Many Valley visitors and residents recently welcomed the reopening of the Cholla Trail on the eastern ridge of Camelback Mountain, which the late, five-term Republican U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater made it his mission to protect.
