In 2009, a small group of community volunteers, after working for months restoring the Cactus Gardens, realized a need to finally get the Castle opened to the public. At the same time, the City of Phoenix was struggling with budget cuts and the bond election funds that were earmarked for the Castle had been spent on the Castle renovation. So this small group rallied and established the Tovrea Carraro Society.
Imagine yourself being a part of history… The Tovrea Castle at Carraro Heights has been a historic Landmark in the Valley for over 80 years, and soon will be opening to the public for the first time… And you can be a part of it all!
The Tovrea Carraro Society is looking for energetic community minded people to assist in their goal of getting the Tovrea Castle at Carraro Gardens open for all to enjoy for future generations to enjoy.
