McCormick Stillman Railroad Park

McCormick Stillman Railroad Park is a green space in Scottsdale where visitors can take train rides, experience a vintage carousel, and view displays about railroad transportation. The grounds also contain indoor model railroad layouts that show different styles and scales of train systems.

The park was created to preserve Arizona's railroad heritage and features original equipment and a carousel from the 1950s. These objects tell the story of when trains were central to how people and goods moved across the region.

The park reflects how railroads shaped American life and development, drawing families who want to experience this transportation heritage together. The exhibits and rides show the role trains played in connecting communities and enabling travel across the country.

Visitors can come year-round, though pleasant weather days work best for exploring the outdoor grounds. The space is easy to walk through and accessible for families with children of different ages.

The carousel dates from the 1950s and comes from a specific manufacturer whose name often escapes visitors' attention. The craftsmanship and design of this ride show how amusement park experiences differed in that era.
