This is a great park that connects to a walking trail. There are basketball courts, pickleball courts, and baseball diamonds. Great little neighborhood spot!

In these times of pandemic.

ORo Calley has some great parks. River front Park is close enough too walk and his connected to our subdivision by the Town's multiuser trails. It's easy to access, also plenty of parking and amenities. The parks has playground equipment, Ramada's, soccer fields, volleyball pits, tennis and b-ball courts as well as some very nice ball fields with stands and refreshment areas. Gorgeous views of the mountains and easy access to the wash and trail/path system. Thanks OV for a great facility.

Nice park with lots to do. They have two sets of playground equipment with the smaller geared towards toddlers. The larger has a one twist and one straight slide. It also has monkey bars, a rock wall, and other "ladders" to the top. You'll find swings for all ages. There are two large soccer fields, a couple baseball fields, and basketball and tennis courts. Bring a dog and take them on the walking trails. Two pavilions are available for group events. If you end up staying longer than expected, you'll find bathrooms on site.

Over 30 people, 1 BB court, most waiting

This is more of a review of Oro Valley, not just this park. OV Parks & Rec has only 1 lighted regulation size basketball court for a population of well over 40000 people. That's way, way... WAY under the average per capita community basketball courts for the U.S.! At the same time, OV owns at least 32 lighted tennis courts. Last night, I played basketball here and 30+ people were crowding the court. The wait to play was at least 4 games. I even saw more kids drive up to play but left once they saw how many people were already waiting. I wonder how many of OV's 32 tennis courts were empty at that time. I know the one next to us was empty. OV should add a 2nd basketball court here or convert the tennis court to one. If they did, I would give this park 5 Stars! As it is, I'm giving it 2 stars, mainly because I'm still annoyed by OV closing the park at 9pm instead of 10pm last winter, which further limited access to the one and only regulation size court in OV.

Soccer practice!

This park is a far cry from the ones that I remember as a kid. Let me tell you how nice these…read moreyoungsters hAve it now a days. Gone are the days of one single grill at a Ramada that was packed on a Saturday. This park has 4 ramadas and each one has electricity, a trash can and a stand up grill next to it. Ramada 1 has what looks like 8-12 picnic tables and it's super big for one of those big family get together. And it's covered. So your not baking in that Arizona sun. Ramada 2 is a little smaller with 2 picnic tables, a grill, a trash can and electricity. Ramada 3 is the smallest of them all with 1 picnic table, one grill, one trash can and electricity. Ramada 4 has 2 picnic tables, one trash can, one grill and electricity. All the Ramadas are close to the restroom which is a stand alone building. It's super clean on the inside and stocked full of TP. When I was younger you'd have to ask the guy in the stall next to you " hey brother can you spare a square?!" Not here very clean and very nice restrooms. Just outside of the restrooms is a two tier drinking fountain. Top level for the adults and lower level for the kids. The water taste great and it was cool to drink. Most definitely nice when it was 100+ outside today. The park features a basketball court equipped with two baskets, a seating area that's under shade and also has a lights for those night time games. That's gonna be the way to go especially since it gets so hot during the days here. The whole court is enclosed with a gate so if you make an entertaining looking brick shot your not running down the street trying to catch up to it. This park also features a dog park area which has seating with Ramada a nice two level drinking fountain. Upper level for the humans and the lower level for your fur babies. Lots of dirt and a pretty decent size grass patch. All enclosed in a gated area. Now let's talk about the best part, the park for the kids. 1 huge jungle gym area that has a large spiral slide, a small slide and lots of things to climb on. The jungle gym has this cool snake like diamond patter with in the hand rails so as to give the little ones better grip and they don't slip with little feet and hands. Very nice. The jungle gym is under a few canopies and is shaded some what. It was very nice because my kids could still play and it be terribly hot on all the equipment. There is a smaller gym set for smaller kids and that has some climbing items and a double slide which are side by side. There are two sets of swings, one for babies, you know the ones with the waist hold up piece and the four holes so the baby can face either direction. And a regular swing set for the bigger kids. This park also has a zip line. Yup you read that right a zip line. Which is super cool. The first zip line is a rope with a circle paddle so you can sit on and if you walk it to either end you will find a table top platform to which you can push yourself and get a good zip going. The other is an egg shaped seat with a locking clasp in the front I believe this is for handicap children. They are both super cool and I would highly recommend them. In between the Ramadas there is a little field and it looks like possibly half a football field. It's wide enough to kick around the soccer ball, wide enough to play frisbee or wide enough to put up your own canopy and relax. All the park feathers are under a shaded warning and don't get to hot at all. This park is pretty cool considering that parks when I was a kid didn't have nearly all of these amenities. So if your on the north side of Tucson and your in the mood for a chill spot. Check this place out. It has what your kids are looking for. Trust me. Oh also less than a mile up the road there is a circle k and the slushy ice cold drinks are always available. Stay cool out there and stay safe.

They drove passed a family with a live wood fire several times, which are prohibited. They didn't say anything to the grandparents constantly driving the UTV in circles around the campground for 3 days (wrong direction sometimes) and letting the grandkids steer. Then, at the dump station, there were 3 of us in line and the last guy who pulled out of the site closest to the dump blocked road exiting our loop and rather than making him go around and come back parked on the side, he made me move (middle vehicles) so the guy blocking the road could pull forward. If it's a flat area, we usually multi-task (hook up the tow car at the dump while rooting and rinsing the black tank) and we're done hooking up well before we're done emptying and rinsing the black tank. Not today. The Barney Fife campground host played the I'm in charge roll. Then after I moved he told me to move to a different spot that would have had me park off the asphalt in the dirt, which isn't allowed. What a putz.

There are bathrooms that are kept relatively clean and stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer at the trailhead. The hike to Romero Pools is about 6 miles out and back, and it is hard to get lost on the trail. After the first mile, there are not any more trails intersecting with the Romero Pools trail. The trail is rocky but very rewarding, as you are able to see your progress of climbing the mountain almost the whole time. Last fall there was not any water in the pools, but this year with all the rain, we saw plenty of waterfalls, streams, and pools. It is very peaceful to sit by the water at the end, and some people I was with even went in the water. While I cannot speak much on the other trails in this park, I do recommend giving Romero Pools a try if you are up for morning adventure!

Late Nov, 2025. Honey Bee Canyon Park, Oro Valley, AZ. We wanted to do an easy morning hike, and…read morethis park was in close proximity to our resort. This family-friendly park, in the Sonoran Desert, features petroglyphs, a historic rock dam, three miles of hiking trails, rentable ramadas (covered open shelters with picnic tables), and a few benches and grills. It is open dawn to dusk. Being mostly flat, most of the trails are rated as "easy", but there are a few limited areas where the slope is a bit steep and you need to ascend/descend on slippery sand or gravel/small stone. Entrance to the park and parking are free. The parking lot has about 20 spaces, and was half-full during our visit on a Saturday morning. The Oro Valley, AZ webpage has two maps, one of the park and the other of trails. Per our AllTrails app, we walked a total of about 1.6 miles on a route that included the rock dam, but turned back as it was starting to get hot, we were having trouble staying on trail because of lack of signage, and there was limited shade in the desert. This is a very nice park, that would've merited a 5-star rating had there been better signage. There is NO informational sign near the parking lot (or anywhere else in the park for that matter) with a map of the trails and amenities in the park. We parked in the lot on the side near the exit, and started our walk through an arch on a path that descended down to the flat area, but it seemed somewhat washed out and sand-slippery. Upon returning later, we found that there were two PAVED paths up to the parking area but on the entrance side that we hadn't seen earlier. In fact, one of these paths was accessible. Also, while hiking, we found that there were a lot of potential paths that we could follow. My husband, who is an avid hiker, kept going in directions other than where my AllTrails app said that we should go to stay on the loop trail we intended to take. There were some signs there, but they were missing at critical junction points. We also overheard another group of six turn around because they weren't sure how to continue the loop. This is also a comment made by many on AllTrails.

Easy parking at the start of a modern trail. The trail is…read morepoorly marked, mainly from the worn out signs that are up but most of them are on the ground in pieces or simply not there.

Or if you prefer, you can walk/run/bike along the wild side on the packed sand next to the paved trail weaving your way through the mesa verde trees and mesquite. Bring your dogs too, they'll also enjoy it. Most of the year, the river bed is dry and filled with scrub brush common in the Sonoran desert, but occasionally in the spring when the snow melts in the mountains, or during the summer monsoon season, the river will completely fill and the water will rage. Some have even been known to try riding a raft when the water reaches the banks. (FYI, don't do this! It isn't safe.) There are several city parks like Brandi Fenton where you can park and start your journey. Best to look at maps online to find the closest entry point and parking location convenient to you; as the park does cross over a lot of streets. In the distance, you will be able to enjoy the view of Mt. Lemmon and the rest of the Santa Catalina mountain range as it turns different hues of pink, red, orange, brown depending on the time of day you come. Sunrise in the summer months and sunset in the winter are great times to go in order to stay comfortable temperature wise. The trail was an almost daily staple in our lives when we lived here and walked the dogs along the trail or cycled and ran with friends. Even returning, while driving through town, we couldn't help but stop and take a stroll down memory lane by revisiting this lovely gem in Tucson.

Today I started at…read morethe parking lot across from the YMCA on Shannon and took the trail along the Cañada del Oro up to La Cañada Drive. Due to all the construction on La Cañada, I was a little confused on whether the trail ended or continued across the street. I crossed LaCañada and started up a dirt trail for 100 yards but turned around since it didn't appear to be part of the linear park and I didn't know where I'd end up. There were a few other walkers and bikers that I encountered along my path and all were friendly. Signs do warn to beware of venemous creatures and one should always keep their eye on the path ahead of you. Today I encountered a medium sized rattlesnake sunning itself in the middle of the path. I've also experienced the other end of the park off Thornydale and it's a great stretch along the Cañada del Oro as well. The Christina Taylor Green Memorial Linear Park is such a wonderful way to get some exercise, enjoy beautiful views, nice people and the occasional wildlife.

The park consists of approximately 1.75 miles of paved shared-use pathway stretching from the north end of the Omni/Tucson National Golf Course on the east bank to Thornydale. It passes under at Magee Road and Ina Road, and pedestrian bridges are strewn throughout for drainage purposes. The landscaping is beautiful and helps to enhance the beauty of the walk! Two parking areas are provided: one near the Shannon Road and Magee Road intersection across from the NW YMCA/PCC and the other east of the Thornydale Road bridge across from Costco. If you haven't tried the walkway yet, its a fantastic addition to a strength training workout at the YMCA!
