Jacinto Park

Play & Recreation

Located in Tucson, Jacinto Park offers a breath of fresh air for locals looking to enjoy the outdoors. Kids can burn off energy at the playground while parents catch a moment's peace under the shade trees that dot the landscape.

Sports fans will find options here as well. The park has a basketball half court for practicing your jump shot, plus reservable sports fields for baseball, softball, soccer and more. Need to work on your fitness? The outdoor workout equipment lets you get your sweat on without being cooped up in a gym.

Picnics & Relaxation

Packing a lunch? Jacinto Park makes for an ideal picnic spot with its scattered picnic tables and grills ready for your cookout plans. Arizona sun getting a bit much? Seek refuge under the shade trees that provide welcome relief on those scorching Tucson afternoons.

While you're there, check out the Little Free Library - grab a book, leave a book, and become part of the neighborhood's literary exchange. Though there aren't any restrooms on site, you'll come across plenty of benches to rest on, bike racks if you've pedaled over, and a drinking fountain to stay hydrated in that desert heat.

For Dog Lovers

Four-legged friends are welcome at Jacinto Park! The open grassy field gives your pup room to stretch their legs and explore. Many local dog owners bring their pets here - it's a nice spot to let your furry companion socialize while you chat with fellow pet parents.

Learning Center

Beyond recreation, Jacinto Park plays an important role in community education. It's home to the Jacinto Park Head Start program, which provides early childhood education and development services to local families.

This valuable program offers nutrition education and social services, helping prepare little ones for kindergarten and setting them up for future success in education and life.
