Parks & Nature
Right next door. A green and shady oasis in the middle of a desert city, this is the Central Park of Tucson.
Giant eucalyptus, Alleppo pines, palm trees and mulberry trees spread their welcome shade over acres of green grass. Near the middle of the park, a waterfall splashes down a heavily planted hillside to a lake that attracts waterfowl and kids with toy boats. Man-made hills rise to encompass seating for the outdoor DeMeester Performance Center, where free programs include orchestras, blues bands and Shakespeare. The zoo coddles a variety of animals in natural habitats.

For the serious nature hiking enthusiast, Saguaro National Park is uniquely situated around the 500 square miles that make up Tucson; which is at the heart of the Sonoran desert. The Tucson Mountain District (TMD) on the west, and the Rincon Mountain District (RMD) to the east, are approximately 30 miles (45-60 minutes) apart. While similar in terms of plants and animals, the intricate details make both areas praiseworthy. The TMD (west) boasts large stands of saguaro cactus creating a breathtaking saguaro forest, whereas the RMD (east) hosts a magnificent sky island, where you can find bears, cougars and the ever elusive coati (aka kudamundi).
