Oracle State Park is a state park of Arizona, US, preserving 3,948 acres (1,598 ha) in the northeastern foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The park is named after the nearby town of Oracle. Oracle State Park serves as a wildlife refuge, and is open during the winter from 9 am – 5 pm, and during the summer from 8 am - 4 pm.[2] In October 2011 Arizona State Parks agreed to reopen Oracle on a limited basis with a $40,000 budget if the park's Friends group can raise $21,000 in additional funds.[3] The park has more than 15 miles (24 km) of hiking trails, including 7 miles (11 km) of the Arizona Trail.[4]
