It says the park entrance closes at 7, but does that mean you have to be OUT of the park by 7? We are wanting to drive up to the overlook.

Big Park, Great Views

From the first parking lot (take a right from the main entrance), looking north down Central Ave will have great views of Phoenix. Heading south will provide a rugged view with cacti and trails.
