Kennedy Park — Attraction in Tucson

I almost never want to tell people about this park despite it being here for many many years.

There are no designated bike paths inside the park plus the paved roads and parking areas are not...

I have been trying to get pictures of the rabbits in the park but the pictures I want to show are only available when there is very little light left in the evening so I'll describe it to everyone. Rabbits in Kennedy Park can be seen as a herd yes a herd I've seen as many as 12 to just under 20 in a about a 40 square ft. area grazing. But I can't get close enough with the light to show anyone so bring the kids and let them count how many they can spot all the way in the back near the playground. Happy...
