Reid Park Biking/Walking Path

Great park, tons of facilities, well cared for. I stopped by for the evening and the park was well lit in certain areas lots of people were hanging out. There is also a lot of parking options.

I walked 4 miles here and didn't even feel it. The trail is very well paved. The scenery makes the walk easy and fun

An oasis in the desert! Parking is easy, and the area has water, flowers, a paved walking path, and grass. It really is a beautiful area in this low desert paradise. The whole paved path once around is three miles, but you may get sidetracked with waterfalls, ducks, swans etc. I love the walk around the lake, but I also enjoy hanging by the water, and enjoying the ducks and swans. The park is right next to the zoo....so if you are lucky you may hear an occasional roar, or elephant trumpet! That is a blessing......The park also has an attached golf course that I look forward to playing!! It is reasonable and a locals favorite! It is safe and well lit....and certainly worth a visit!

Water in the desert is an absolute luxury, so Reid Park is a gem for Tucson denizens seeking a local oasis! You'll find a rose garden, an amphitheater and a paved walking path along the man-made lake. There's even have a waterfall feature. It's not uncommon to encounter swans and swan droppings, and most weekends I've seen an ice cream truck in the parking lot!

Great place to come & enjoy family & friends while getting fit!! The bike/running/ walking path is great & always plenty people around so in case you're alone you'll feel safe!Outdoors & exercise can beat it & it's free no membership required!

Anytime you get to meet the love of your life for a lunch break is definitely a 5 experience! On the Southside of the park is solar panels that provide decent shade. The traffic was low today due to it being a weekday. The amenities are minimal. Didn't get a chance to enjoy the pond on this trip, but we saw the ducks flying overhead. The scents of the nearby Zoo reminded us of how long its been since we've visited it. No issues, complaints or problems from this recent visit..... Wish the Sunday Lowriders were out.

What a beautiful place to go on a sunny 70° day. The large duck ponds are a breath of fresh air as we are so accustomed to dust and concrete. The fountain, fake water wall, and man made creek make for a spectacular scene. Around the duck ponds is super green lush grass covered in shade from the surrounding palm, date, and olive trees. There's a kids train that rides around the pond, and ice cream trucks with a variety of cold treats that play children's melodies in the background. When the childhood melodies mix with ice cream , ducks, and scenery the feel good vibes arise. It feels like summer. Only Con's: Some areas are covered in duck poop and smell horrific. There are signs everywhere warning you not to feed the ducks but plenty of dumb people there doing it.

Bored with the same old scene while on the treadmill at your gym? Head to Reid Park!After a long day at work sometimes the gym environment just isn't very appealing so I like to head over to Reid Park and take the 3-mile loop. The path is well paved and even striped to mark coming and going lanes. You'll find a wide variety of people on the loop and that makes it so much more appealing than the gym sometimes. I'm a people watcher and there's plenty of opportunity on the Reid Park Biking/Walking Path. You've got fitness walkers like me, roller bladers, serious runners, dog walkers, kids on bikes and families. Plus - there's no cheating and quitting early. Because of park fencing you are pretty much forced to do the entire 3-mile loop, unlike the gym where you can just step off the treadmill.The path runs along Broadway/Alvernon/22nd but the passing traffic really isn't a hinderance. I love the portion of the path that winds around behind the police station and along the duck pond. It's a little bit of lush paradise back there! You'll find a couple of water fountains along the way and there is a public restroom in the Jim Reffkin Tennis Center that is clean and easily accessible. You can even catch an intense tennis match as you walk by the courts or check out the golfers on the driving range. I especially love the ghost bike tribute along Alvernon.The path can sometimes get a little crowded after work but once the weather heats up, it opens up. And that's about the time I head back to the air-conditioned gym.

I walk here nearly every night with my two dogs, late enough that the 100 degree daytime heat has subsided. The path is well lit - except for a few street lights that turn on and off at random as I pass beneath them - and well-traveled, even at 9 or 10 PM. People walk or bike alone, in pairs, with dogs, with kids on scooters, babies in strollers or all of the above. The police substation at the corner of 22nd and Alvernon ensures that the park is also well-patrolled, making it safe for night walking. Getting around or past other users of the path is seldom a problem if you are flexible in your willingness to break right or left.The main path is listed as a 3.1 mile loop, but you can extend your route out to Country Club along 22nd or Calle Campestre or both. My current routine begins at Miko's Corner dog park, skirts the edge of the zoo and ends back at Picnic Place, for about 4.5 miles plus any walking inside the dog park. Works for me!

So I went here today and I drove all the way around the park and never could find an entrance! Has anyone ever had this problem?! Please help.
