About Veinte de Agosto Park in Tucson

Veinte de Agosto Park is a small 0.9-acre urban park located in downtown Tucson, Arizona. The park is situated at the point where Congress Street and Broadway Boulevard split into one-way streets.

The park's name, which means "August 20th" in Spanish, commemorates the founding date of Tucson - August 20, 1775. It serves as a memorial to the city's establishment by Lt. Col. Don Hugo Oconor, Commandant Inspector of the Frontier Provinces of New Spain.

Despite its small size, Veinte de Agosto Park offers a green oasis in the heart of Tucson's urban landscape. The park features grass areas and trees, providing shade and a peaceful atmosphere for visitors. It offers a serene environment for relaxation and serves as a place for downtown workers and visitors to take a break from the bustling city surroundings.

As of March 2025, it should be noted that the park is currently closed, according to information from the City of Tucson. Visitors should check for updates on the park's status before planning a visit.
