Шаблон:Cleanup rewriteThe Encanto area become a City of Phoenix park in 1934. The property was purchased from J. W. Doris Шаблон:Convert and Dr. Norton, amongst others; the quitclaim deed took effect November 27, 1934 and it was re-classified as a park (initially to curtail livestock grazing).

The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department in the '70s promoted archery competitions in particular. In 1985, more outdoors facilities were added catering to increased societal interest in physical fitness and games with a focus was on soccer and handball, leaving archery to one side.
