Hello Friends,
As the weather starts to cool down and fall begins, one of my family’s favorite things to do is to get moving, especially outside and into nature. We are lucky to have world class recreational amenities throughout the Tucson region. If you are looking for new adventures visit www.visittucson.org/things-to-do/outdoors/
We also have free events happening in our city parks throughout the month of October. Below is a schedule of when the City of Tucson Ready Set Rec program will be hosting free events at our eastside parks. Recreation specialists will setup interactive activities for all ages to enjoy. Including educational STEM activities, sensory focused activities and general play including: corn hole, hula hoops, giant chess, giant checkers, giant Connect 4, cards, music, dominoes, giant Jenga, giant ring toss, walking sticks, and much more.
