Armory Park — Attraction in Tucson

Covid hot-spot, if you think you're healthy and want to get your immune system up to snuff, look for the woman laying in the shade with a fly swatter. Approach said woman kindly and ask for a little 10 min snuggle. Although apprehensive at first, she will oblige, and then with permission and only with permission dig in deep. Get your little spoon on. Let her take the reigns as big spoon. You want to feel her hot breath and coughs right on the back of your neck, so you know the Covid is being transmitted. All the while ignore her constant fly swatting, this action keeps her calm. After a good while deep in the arms of the "fly swatterer" make sure to use the public bathroom available at Armory Park. Usually with out toilet paper, a loose syringe is more likely to be found in the bathroom stalls. Arizona is currently the Covid capital, and Armory Park is a variable Covid gauntlet for those willing to live amongst the Armory Park locals, even just for a little bit. Remember this virality test is not for the weak of heart and only for those who want to get this pesky Covid Virus done and out of the way. Because if you survive, you'll just have an immune system that can beat down this killer virus, but a laundry list of people who no longer want to hang out. Point-Match You! BRITNEY SPEARS...

If you ignore the multitude of homeless, this is a big grassy area with lots of trees to relax under. It has a sizable recreation center too. But when it comes to play area for your kids you must go across the street. Worry not if you don't see a children't play area. It's right across the street.

Just inside the gates of Tucson's Children's Museum is a FREE public park for children to play in. Admission into the museum is not needed to enjoy this beautiful gem. Colorful statues of Chinese Dragons, Unicorns, Butterflies, a water fountain, a gravel covered play area with sensory equipment to make music on, giant blue blocks to build with. Beautiful architecture and stain glass of the museum it's self is wonderful to look at. Best of all this area is transient free. Down side is there is no public bathrooms.

You will need to pay for parking except on...

I enjoy going to Armory Park and just sitting and watching people go by. It is also the home of The WW ll Memorial honoring Tucson and Pima County Veterans that were killed in action or died as a result of their injuries. Gilbert Quintanilla and Connie Lujan Harris came up with idea and presented it to the City of Tucson. With the support of The City of Tucson, Pima County, and The State of Arizona funding was secured. The Memorial was unveiled on November 1, 2013.

The names of all the men that are engraved on the wall, that served and died from Tucson, will forever be known as Tucsons Heroes. The names of these veterans are forever embedded in my heart.

My only regret is that Gilbert and my Mom, Connie, passed away before they saw their dream...
