Carefree Desert Gardens

 The Carefree Sundial, the largest in North America, stands as a remarkable piece of public art and engineering. Stretching 62 feet in length and towering 35 feet above the ground, it was commissioned by K.T. Palmer, one of Carefree's founders, and designed by solar engineer Dr. John Yellott and architect Joe Wong. The sundial’s metal gnomon (the shadow-casting arm) points directly to the North Star, adding a celestial touch to its design. A must-see landmark in Carefree, the sundial not only serves as a functional timepiece but also as a striking tribute to the town's artistic and innovative spirit.
