Agua Caliente Park

I had no idea this space existed in Tucson- and so glad I now know. It can be a bit of a drive depending where you live as it's on the far northeast part of town. But well worth the drive! This park has a lot of history and biodiversity. The hot spring ( "agua caleinte") was at one time a hot spring pumping out over 500 gallons of water years ago- but with the decrease rain amounts and lowering of the aquifers due to construction growth, it now only pumps out a few gallons a minute. But still pretty impressive in the desert. Beautiful palm trees and native plants surround this area coupled with water sources, birding trails, a little island, picnic tables and benches to stop and take in the beauty. A visitor center with helpful and informative staff and art gallery add to the experience. Family and puppy friendly space and most people seem to be responsible puppy owners that clean up after their pet.

This is an awesome park! Very clean with beautiful lakes. The perfect spot for picnics, bbqs, or to walk your pup (on leash). I walked my dog around it recently and definitely want to go back for a picnic and to read. I also saw people birding. It's a beautiful park.

I can't believe I have not visited this beautiful park until now. It has beautiful ponds and walking and birding paths. So many families were enjoying the beautiful weather and having picnics and walking their dogs. The trees do some trimming though.

What an absolutely stunning park, a literal oasis in the desert. I view it as our own hidden gem - it's never crowded, and the dogs love it. It's becoming our favorite go to location for walks and mornings away from the hustle and bustle of life. The ducks, and Herron's are beautiful. So many turtles as well!

This park is absolutely gorgeous! We loved walking around and looking at the beautiful scenery. It almost feels like we're inside a storybook like another world because it's just so gorgeous here. We love taking photos here and we absolutely love taking our family here.

This is an absolutely gorgeous park located in a nice area of Tucson. The park was very hot on the day I came and needed some more shade, but it was an interesting walk. There was plenty of fawna and wildlife. Overall, a beautiful park, but I would definitely recommend coming on a cool day.

A nice park to visit for views, hikes, or/and bonding. Lots of different bodies of water w/ fish, turtles, and ducks.

What a great park. Took Rug, our dog, and she had a great time. Lots of walking paths, not too many people and the island was a nice break.

Natural spring in Tucson. Very cool place to visit and tucson history as well. Nice park, great place for a picnic

Beautiful place. Pretty busy always with people taking pictures for special occasions. Lots of nice wildlife like herons, ducks, and turtles.
