ARTHUR PACK REGIONAL PARK

Amenities Weather Recreation


Arthur Pack Regional Park is a 500-acre park located in Tucson, Arizona. The park is named after Arthur Pack, a prominent businessman and philanthropist who donated the land for the park in the 1970s. The park is a popular destination for hiking, picnicking, and wildlife viewing.

One of the main attractions of the park is the hiking trails. There are over five miles of trails, ranging from easy to difficult, that offer scenic views of the surrounding mountains and desert. The trails are also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, rabbits, and coyotes.

Another popular destination in the park is the Environmental Education Center. The center offers educational programs and exhibits on the natural history and ecology of the Sonoran Desert. Visitors can learn about the plants and animals that live in the desert and how they have adapted to survive in this harsh environment.

Other points of interest in the park include the picnic areas, playgrounds, and sports fields. There is also a dog park where visitors can bring their dogs to play and socialize with other dogs.

One interesting fact about the park is that it is home to a herd of bighorn sheep. These majestic animals can often be spotted on the hillsides near the hiking trails.

The best time to visit Arthur Pack Regional Park is during the winter months, when the weather is mild and comfortable for outdoor activities. However, the park is open year-round and can be enjoyed in any season.
