Alvernon Park

Alvernon Park is a neighborhood park located in Tucson, Arizona. Spanning 3.1 acres, this urban green space serves as a memorial to fallen Tucson Police Officer Jeffrey H. Ross, who lived in the nearby Peter Howell Neighborhood as a child.

The park features a mix of natural and recreational elements. Mature trees provide shade throughout the area, offering relief from the Arizona sun. The park's layout includes grassy areas and a walking path, allowing visitors to enjoy outdoor activities and exercise.

Alvernon Park holds historical significance due to its dedication to Officer Ross.

In addition to the park memorial, Officer Ross is also honored at the Tucson Police Department's Memorial Courtyard.

The park is open daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., providing ample time for community members to utilize its facilities. It serves as a valuable community space for the surrounding neighborhood, offering a place for relaxation, recreation, and remembrance.
