Tucson Parks & Recreation
Exercise equipment, public art and some playgrounds make this trail an attractive family excursion. The playgrounds are between Broadway and 5th, and our favorite piece of art is the blue tile wall just north of 22nd st, right across from A mountain. This wall is a cool piece of recent community history, with names of barrios, quotes from Chinese philosophers, names, handprints, even actual tools and kitchen implements all under a beautiful deep blue glaze. Not to mention the giant horned toads (ok, lizards) climbing the rock tower next to it.
Starting on April 15th and going through May 1st, DCA will hold a Cheer Camp to help the athletes prepare for their Tryouts. The Cheer Camp will include Fundamentals (Motions & Jumps), Dance, Tumbling, Stunting and Tosses. Sessions will be held on Tuesday's, Thursday's and Saturday's as follows:

The Pumpkin Festival & Corn Maze is open to the public weekends thru the end of October. We tried the corn maze without a map - if they didn't post maps at various staions inside the maze we might still be there! Gorgeous draft horse teams pull wagons into the pumpkin patch, where we examined the insect life and chose two pumpkins with character. The petting zoo is run by local 4-H chapters and seems to have inspired my 1st grader that she wants to join a 4-H club. Food was available but we brought our own.
