Tucson Parks and Recreation Department facilities will close on five additional days to accommodate Mayor and Council approved unpaid employee furloughs. All Parks and Recreation facilities, including administrative offices, centers, pools and the KIDCO program at center and school sites will be closed on these days for the remainder of the fiscal year: Dec. 23. Closure notices will be posted at all Parks and Recreation facilities. Tucson City Golf and the Reid Park Zoo will remain open on scheduled furlough days. Users are alerted that some unpaid furlough days, instituted to address the City’s budget deficit, may differ for various City of Tucson departments. Visit the City of Tucson web site at www.tucsonaz.gov for additional furlough information.
On October 26, 2010, the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department was recognized for excellence in the field of parks and recreation management by becoming one of only ninety-seven agencies in the country currently holding national accreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA). This distinguished accomplishment was announced at the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) 2010 Congress and Exposition.
Additional Accreditation information
A section of the Santa Cruz River Park is closed due to construction activities related to the installation of a new major sanitary sewer interceptor. Both the walking areas and the bike path on the River Park’s east side - between Speedway Boulevard and St. Mary’s Road - will be affected. Future media alerts will be released when additional areas of the park are closed.
All persons are encouraged to use the bike path along the west side of the Santa Cruz River and to avoid the east side entirely while it is closed. There will be a significant presence of large equipment, machinery, construction vehicles and some dust and noise.
Construction activities will take place between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Users of the River Park should be vigilant, obey all signs and proceed with caution.
