    Where the wild things are... bigger kids
    James T.

    The playground at Himmel Park just got a remodel and it looks great. There's a spot for little kids as well as a new play structure with sun shades for the bigger kids. In addition to the updates to the playground himmel has large grass fields (a rare sight in Tucson) as well as tennis courts, a library and a public pool. You'll often find pick up games of soccer throughout the week and it's a great place for picnics and birthday parties.

    For a small urban park there are many advantages. Room to walk, a few hills, a library, swimming pool, tennis courts, two playground areas. Nice little park not too far from U of A near lots of to go restaurants on Speedway, so you can get a bag and picnic. We usually come here when the Shakespeare in the Park happens. Grab food, blanket and chairs and watching a play under the stars is awesome. Check for activities. Good little park.

    A decent smaller sized park which I use primarily for laps around and getting my fitness on. It has tennis, kid's swings and such, some exercise equipment that has seen better days. A number of people use the park to, shall we say, sleep in, but that's parks these days. The library offers one of the best perks here.

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.

Quite miraculously, they've survived decades of floods, droughts, and vandalism. They exist because during World War I, a man named Felix Lucero lay seriously injured on a battlefield in France. Wounded and in agony, he proposed a deal with God: If he survived, he'd use his natural skills as a sculptor to create religious statues. After returning home from the war, Lucero set about making good on his word. In the late 1930s, he lived in Tucson, Arizona, in a shack beneath a bridge. From there, he began creating beautiful works of art. While in Tucson, Lucero spent years crafting detailed statues of religious figures out of sand and debris from the Santa Cruz River, which he then slathered in a protective coat of plaster. He created iconic Biblical scenes, including the Last Supper, Joseph and Mary, and Jesus on the crucifix. Though Lucero died in 1951, his work is still standing--which is amazing, considering the statues weren't built from lasting materials and have faced frequent vandalism over the years. Many are damaged, but they still stand tall. Dedicated locals have worked to salvage and repair the sculptures after each vandalism incident, and in the 1980s moved them to form this sculpture garden near the very bridge Lucero once lived beneath.
