Tangerine Sky Park

This park is a far cry from the ones that I remember as a kid. Let me tell you how nice these youngsters hAve it now a days. Gone are the days of one single grill at a Ramada that was packed on a Saturday. This park has 4 ramadas and each one has electricity, a trash can and a stand up grill next to it. Ramada 1 has what looks like 8-12 picnic tables and it's super big for one of those big family get together. And it's covered. So your not baking in that Arizona sun. Ramada 2 is a little smaller with 2 picnic tables, a grill, a trash can and electricity. Ramada 3 is the smallest of them all with 1 picnic table, one grill, one trash can and electricity. Ramada 4 has 2 picnic tables, one trash can, one grill and electricity. All the Ramadas are close to the restroom which is a stand alone building. It's super clean on the inside and stocked full of TP. When I was younger you'd have to ask the guy in the stall next to you " hey brother can you spare a square?!" Not here very clean and very nice restrooms. Just outside of the restrooms is a two tier drinking fountain. Top level for the adults and lower level for the kids. The water taste great and it was cool to drink. Most definitely nice when it was 100+ outside today. The park features a basketball court equipped with two baskets, a seating area that's under shade and also has a lights for those night time games. That's gonna be the way to go especially since it gets so hot during the days here. The whole court is enclosed with a gate so if you make an entertaining looking brick shot your not running down the street trying to catch up to it. This park also features a dog park area which has seating with Ramada a nice two level drinking fountain. Upper level for the humans and the lower level for your fur babies. Lots of dirt and a pretty decent size grass patch. All enclosed in a gated area. Now let's talk about the best part, the park for the kids. 1 huge jungle gym area that has a large spiral slide, a small slide and lots of things to climb on. The jungle gym has this cool snake like diamond patter with in the hand rails so as to give the little ones better grip and they don't slip with little feet and hands. Very nice. The jungle gym is under a few canopies and is shaded some what. It was very nice because my kids could still play and it be terribly hot on all the equipment. There is a smaller gym set for smaller kids and that has some climbing items and a double slide which are side by side. There are two sets of swings, one for babies, you know the ones with the waist hold up piece and the four holes so the baby can face either direction. And a regular swing set for the bigger kids. This park also has a zip line. Yup you read that right a zip line. Which is super cool. The first zip line is a rope with a circle paddle so you can sit on and if you walk it to either end you will find a table top platform to which you can push yourself and get a good zip going. The other is an egg shaped seat with a locking clasp in the front I believe this is for handicap children. They are both super cool and I would highly recommend them. In between the Ramadas there is a little field and it looks like possibly half a football field. It's wide enough to kick around the soccer ball, wide enough to play frisbee or wide enough to put up your own canopy and relax. All the park feathers are under a shaded warning and don't get to hot at all. This park is pretty cool considering that parks when I was a kid didn't have nearly all of these amenities. So if your on the north side of Tucson and your in the mood for a chill spot. Check this place out. It has what your kids are looking for. Trust me. Oh also less than a mile up the road there is a circle k and the slushy ice cold drinks are always available. Stay cool out there and stay safe.

This is one of the nicer parks in Tucson. Very clean and well kept. There is a really nice walking path, basketball courts, and a big field as well.

Beautiful park, well kept, very clean. Equipment for kids is fun and unique. Best wildflowers I've seen in Tucson, ever. All along the walking paths. Benches placed around path and Ramada's too. Bathrooms are clean. Basketball court and dog park too.

Small dog park with an even smaller grass area. But it's on top of a hill, with open views, so feels bigger than it is. New structures, and automatic lights at night. Responsible, attentive pet owners.
