I've come here for Octoberfest, fun runs, pet events. The city maintains an active schedule for events planned here. There is plenty of free parking. The park has several restrooms that are closed at 11pm to prevent the homeless nearby from trashing them. City employees do a good job keeping this park clean and safe. Within the park is a skate park, ball field, playground, and even an indoor pool. While there is no permanent eatery in this park, there are many varied food trucks present during bug weekend events.

They have a few picnic tables if you want to spend some time up here to have a nice little lunch. There are hiking trails leading all the way up the mountains.

Weddings and Senior pics are also popular. Day use is now $8. There is a restroom and several picnic areas by the pond to sit back and relax. To avoid the fee, park off Ramsey Canyon Road and walk the 0.8 mile to the ranch house. My hiking group does weekly loop hikes in Brown Canyon. The ranch house is open during daylight. The pond is a habitat for the endangered Chiricahua Leopard Frog. There are several trails that start at the ranch house. The Brown Canyon trail is a four-mile trail that one can take into Ramsey Canyon. The Garden Connector trail, which begins off the Buffalo Soldier Trail and SR92, ends here. The Brown Canyon Loop trail also starts here, although it's not marked. Just make sure you turn left at the horse trough two miles into the hike. This is a 4.6-mile loop. Just watch out for speeding mountain bikers. There is also a 1.5-mile Nature Trail loop with a duck pond. Dogs are allowed on these trails, but must be leashed. This place can get busy on the weekends. Watch out for rattlesnakes, javelina, coyote and deer.

Beautiful area with trails, an excellent visitor center and other features. At the very least, if you're able, hike up to the top of Coronado Peak from Montezuma Pass. It's a short hike but gains 300 feet in elevation. Good views up there. The Coronado memorial is somewhat out of the way but still easily accessible from I-10. If your vehicle has good tires, after visiting Coronado consider continuing on westward through Montezuma Pass towards Parker Canyon Lake and the town of Sonoita. It's a nice drive. 4WD not required but make sure your spare tire is in good shape.

There are metal benches for humans to sit on. I have two 6-month old German Shepherd Dogs that need socialization. I've now taken them to this park several times. I like that there are two large sections, one for small dogs and the other for large dogs. Mature trees and a hard-top canopy provide for shade. My dogs are all fully vaccinated; I only hope the other dogs visiting are, too. I've been there in the morning and also early evening. This dog park is part of Tompkins Park, where a half-mile paved path finishes my visit with the dogs as they get used to the sights and sounds and smells of other people, kids and dogs of all breeds. The fenced-in area is visible from Buffalo Soldier Boulevard, the main thruway on the town's west side. The water fountains inside the dog park have been turned off during this covid pandemic, and visitors are bringing their own water jugs and leaving left-over water behind. There are also poop bags that I wish more dog owners would use, as my one complaint is that not all dog owners make use of this convenience. Also, recently some dogs have been digging holes that the owners leave exposed for people to trip over. While lights come on at night along the paved fitness path, the dogpark itself remains dark. It's therefore recommended to only visit during daylight hours. The park's parking lot is on the opposite end of this park, but people can also park in the cul-de-sac on the park's north end , off S Savanna Drive.

I am claustrophobic and let Adam know and he was very understanding and encouraging. He definitely helped me feel at ease and I was able to finish the entire tour. Adam is very passionate about caving and it really shows. We've been in multiple caves and on tours so I wasn't sure if this would be anything special. It absolutely was and I was pleasantly surprised. There were a few activities we got to do that I haven't ever experienced before like playing "drums" on stalactites and "painting" on the wall with a flashlight. We learned a lot about the history of the cave and heard some interesting and fun stories. We also got to explore a little bit on our own here and there off to the sides of the path which my husband really enjoyed. The ladder part is at the end and it was a lot of fun and almost like an obstacle course. We had a great time here and I'm really glad we came!

The preserve has about three miles of walking trails that take you along Sonoita Creek and through an incredible cottonwood forest. The sanctuary/preserve offers a totally different experience with nature because it is a wetland. It's been said that over 300 species of bird migrate to the preserve. The trails are pretty flat so it was totally doable with our daughter. There were tons of birds, flowers, and lush green. The volunteers are super helpful and kind. And the restrooms are the cleanest of any park I've been to.
