We're home to the Grand Canyon, San Francisco Peaks, Lake Powell and the Colorado River, the red rocks of Sedona and the pine country of Prescott and Payson.

Kingman offers golf enthusiasts two 18-hole golf courses, Cerbat Cliffs and Valle Vista. The city's multi-sport Veteran's Centennial Park complex, managed on-site by the Parks & Recreation Department, has four lighted tennis courts, two lighted basketball courts, two lighted racquetball courts, a walking track, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, horseshoe pits and two soccer fields. On weekends, the park's seven softball fields host the country's best players in national tournaments during the day and men's, women's and co-ed slow-pitch games at night from mid-May through August.

The community also offers visitors and residents nine parks, one bowling alley, aerobic and weight lifting centers and two public swimming pools.

The scenic mountains around the Kingman area, including the Hualapai Mountain Park and Cerbat Mountains, offer hiking, picnicking, camping, and other outdoor activities.
