Palo Verde Park — Attraction in Tucson

It's a good park for getting some walking done. More playground equipment would be a nice addition as there is tons of space for it. The baby swings are near the playground, and there is a set of two swings that are kind of far away from the rest of the playground area and they are a bit close to the street. It would be great if they put the regular swings closer to the playground, so that kids of all ages could play in the same area for their safety and for parents to be able to monitor all of their kids in one area.

I believe dogs are welcome as long as they are leashed — we’ve always brought our pup and never had an issue. There is a separate mini dog park but it is not within eye distance from...

This is a nice park. There are baseball fields, tennis courts, a basketball court, a dog run, and a swimming pool with a smaller wading pool for the kids. The city is in the process of converting the wading pool to a splash pad. The dog area also has bag dispensers to pick up after your pet.

There's a sidewalk that runs around the outside of the park, and you'll regularly see people walking or running on it. It's about .7 miles if you go all the way around.
