About Surprise

Located about 45 minutes from downtown Phoenix, Surprise is one of Arizona's fastest growing cities. This charming town, once a small farming community, is now a 74-square-mile city on the move. Sun City Grand, an adult community with its own explosive growth and recreational amenities, has been developed inside the Surprise city limits. The $48.3 million Cactus League Spring Training facility and stadium - along with a regional library, aquatic center, recreation center, and 57-acre park - form the centerpiece of a square-mile-plus downtown development, putting Surprise well on it's way to becoming the playground of metro Phoenix's West Valley. Whether it's a hike in nearby White Tank Mountain Regional Park, a bike ride on the Sun Valley Parkway, fishing, or a round of golf on one of the city's eight public courses, Surprise has a lot to offer.
