They have a large dog park including a separate area for small dogs that was very well kept. There's some seating area and water for the doggies. The community here is friendly too. After a few laps around the dog park, we walked the trail around the park. This was nice aside from the rattlesnake near the path -- yikes! Luckily it was early morning enough that I don't think it would have really done any harm but definitely keep an eye out if you go. The park is cute too with a large children's play area. There's something for everyone and even in the hot summer months there was a good crowd here.

Honeybee Canyon Loop Trail. Oro Valley, AZ. Late Nov, 2025. We wanted to do an easy morning hike,…read moreand the Honeybee Canyon Park was close to our resort. This family-friendly park offers about three miles of hiking trails, and we decided to do the Honeybee Canyon Loop Trail. Being mostly flat, most of the trails are rated "easy", but there are a few short areas where the slope is a bit steep and you need to ascend/descend on slippery sand or gravel. Entrance to the park and parking are free; there are about 20 parking spaces. Per my AllTrails app, we walked about 1.6 miles on a route that included the rock dam, but turned back without completing the loop as it was starting to get hot, there was limited shade in the desert, and, most importantly, there's limited signage on the trail (or anywhere in the park for that matter) so we kept going off-trail. This would've been a 5-star review if the signage was better to keep us on trail.

I thought it was pretty cool the way they reflected pictures onto the ground of the animals they discussed. They taught us not just about the animals of the desert, but also about the rock formations, and constellations as well . They did an introduction before we set out on the trail and an icebreaker, which I also thought was a cool little activity to help us all feel more comfortable. I would definitely do this again, and recommend it for anyone who's never done it. This would be a great activity to bring an out-of-town friend on. FYI- the hell when you first start, the trail is pretty steep.. I was huffing and puffing a bit lol. If you have any knee injuries or struggle with steep land, you might want to sit this one out. The rest of the trail is flat after however the hill is needed to start and end the trail (it probably took like 1-2 minutes to scale it). Also to find the area where the hike starts, you'll want to drive all the way through the park until you get to the parking lot on the left. For some reason, I thought it would be pretty close to when you enter the park, however, it is a little drive.

Late Nov, 2025. Honey Bee Canyon Park, Oro Valley, AZ. We wanted to do an easy morning hike, and…read morethis park was in close proximity to our resort. This family-friendly park, in the Sonoran Desert, features petroglyphs, a historic rock dam, three miles of hiking trails, rentable ramadas (covered open shelters with picnic tables), and a few benches and grills. It is open dawn to dusk. Being mostly flat, most of the trails are rated as "easy", but there are a few limited areas where the slope is a bit steep and you need to ascend/descend on slippery sand or gravel/small stone. Entrance to the park and parking are free. The parking lot has about 20 spaces, and was half-full during our visit on a Saturday morning. The Oro Valley, AZ webpage has two maps, one of the park and the other of trails. Per our AllTrails app, we walked a total of about 1.6 miles on a route that included the rock dam, but turned back as it was starting to get hot, we were having trouble staying on trail because of lack of signage, and there was limited shade in the desert. This is a very nice park, that would've merited a 5-star rating had there been better signage. There is NO informational sign near the parking lot (or anywhere else in the park for that matter) with a map of the trails and amenities in the park. We parked in the lot on the side near the exit, and started our walk through an arch on a path that descended down to the flat area, but it seemed somewhat washed out and sand-slippery. Upon returning later, we found that there were two PAVED paths up to the parking area but on the entrance side that we hadn't seen earlier. In fact, one of these paths was accessible. Also, while hiking, we found that there were a lot of potential paths that we could follow. My husband, who is an avid hiker, kept going in directions other than where my AllTrails app said that we should go to stay on the loop trail we intended to take. There were some signs there, but they were missing at critical junction points. We also overheard another group of six turn around because they weren't sure how to continue the loop. This is also a comment made by many on AllTrails.

Arthur Pack Regional Park is home to not only to several baseball/softball fields and two…read moreplaygrounds but also a dog park. The dog park is partitioned into two separate areas based on weight. One area is designated for dogs that weigh greater than 30 pounds and other area is for dogs that weight less than 30 pounds. Each respective area has its own grass and dirt fields. For the large dog area, the dirt field measures 100 x 50 feet and the grass field measures 100 x 85 feet. There is a water spigot with community bowls, three seating areas, several community toys/balls, a few built-in obstacles, and lighting which allows the park to be open until 10pm. This dog park checks off all the boxes but I do wish there was more shaded area. At the end of the day, a dog park is only as good as the behavior of the dogs and their owners. I've only had positive experiences.

Or if you prefer, you can walk/run/bike along the wild side on the packed sand next to the paved trail weaving your way through the mesa verde trees and mesquite. Bring your dogs too, they'll also enjoy it. Most of the year, the river bed is dry and filled with scrub brush common in the Sonoran desert, but occasionally in the spring when the snow melts in the mountains, or during the summer monsoon season, the river will completely fill and the water will rage. Some have even been known to try riding a raft when the water reaches the banks. (FYI, don't do this! It isn't safe.) There are several city parks like Brandi Fenton where you can park and start your journey. Best to look at maps online to find the closest entry point and parking location convenient to you; as the park does cross over a lot of streets. In the distance, you will be able to enjoy the view of Mt. Lemmon and the rest of the Santa Catalina mountain range as it turns different hues of pink, red, orange, brown depending on the time of day you come. Sunrise in the summer months and sunset in the winter are great times to go in order to stay comfortable temperature wise. The trail was an almost daily staple in our lives when we lived here and walked the dogs along the trail or cycled and ran with friends. Even returning, while driving through town, we couldn't help but stop and take a stroll down memory lane by revisiting this lovely gem in Tucson.

Admission for this event was only $5 so it's less than regular admission but you don't get to explore as much for the gardens and it's a bit cordoned off at night. Since it was so hot I went for the watermelon and cucumber gazpacho and their refreshing Chul 75. We also shared the carnitas nachos which were more like pulled pork so that was a little disappointing. But overall it was a fun date night where we go to see some cool art and live music with lots of cute and cozy places to explore and relax. Definitely worth checking out!
