I love this dog park. It is separated by dog size and of course the big dog side is larger. When…read morethere are no huge dogs over there, I'll take my medium sized dogs there. There is a nice pathway all the way around that I love to walk while my dogs play. There is also plenty of shade. The small dog side does not have the space for a walkway, but has plenty of seating for hanging out with your dogs. There are water fountains for humans and dogs on both sides and rakes and shovels to use as pooper scoopers. Pretty much everyone that goes there are friendly and attentive of their dogs. The parks are poop free most of the time, but sometimes there is a missed pile. The fencing is pretty secure, but very small dogs can get under the fence between the big and small dog areas. Just keep an eye on your wee pups. Parking is very close and there are plenty of spaces. There is also a playground nearby if you have children old enough to play on their own. Another cool thing is that Ivan was a Tucson PD Canine and this dog park is a memorial to him.

This is a phenomenally well-designed network with 10+ miles of fast, flowing, and technical singletrack that never feels repetitive. Photos don't come close to capturing how good this place really is, you have to ride it to believe it. I've mountain biked all over the western U.S., and Fantasy Island genuinely stands out. This trail system alone makes Tucson a true mountain bike destination.

First and foremost it is a dog park to some degree. When you realize it is surrounded by half a…read moremillion dollar homes, you also understand that they only put the dog park here as a selling feature of the developer. This is very popular in Texas except they have very nice parks in the new developments with trees and grass and all kinds of other stuff that dogs hate. Here are the kept all that stuff out of the park and basically they have ground that feels like concrete but looks like dirt and they've thrown some rocks down on it because we know how dogs love stepping on rocks. There is no shade in the dog park, there is no water in the dog park, there is no trash can in the dog park, there are no poop bags in the dog park except one someone has kindly tied on to the fence. They have a fire hydrant and a plastic tube for the dogs to go through and something for them to jump through. Now outside the dog park they have a nice shaded structure with a nice water fountain and a trash can? Which means you have to leave the dog park to go throw the poop away? So anyway after a little over 2,000 dog park visits all across the country, this was a bit of a disappointment for me and young lady

Another amazing drive through National Park. With the…read moreshutdown we were surprised to be able to drive thru. Just the drive was open. Desert beauty... huge cactuses and the variety of plants.

In any season but winter, I'd advise visiting early in the day to avoid the heat…read more We drove about 3o minutes from our hotel in Tucson to visit Saguaro NP. We stopped first at the visitors' center. We had a park pass, but otherwise here was where we'd have paid our fee. We checked in with the help desk to ask about short hikes. I admire the rangers for probably answering the same question a hundred times a day, 5 days a week. There is a loop road within a mile or two of the VC. It is unpaved, but it has 2 nice short hikes along the way. However, you should note: while 80% of the loop is 2-way traffic, the other 20% is NOT! Hence, unless you want to do more than a single pass around the loop, you should enter at the end nearest the VC and proceed CCW around the loop to the other end. We did 2 hikes here. The Signal Hill trail is on the side of the loop furthest from the VC. The Valley View trail is on the leg closer to the VC (but after the point where the road becomes 1-way). The Signal Hill trail is short. It descends from the parking lot down to a wash and then up around a hill. At the base you can see some rocks displaying petroglyphs. When you get to the top, you are quite close to several rocks with large carvings (spiral circles, etc.). There was adequate parking divided into a lower and upper lot. It may get crowded at other times, but when we visited (early) there were spots available. The Valley View trail is a bit longer but is mostly level. It winds through cactuses for a while until it ends at a point which overlooks the land to the west. You get a huge vista from this point, though on the day we went there was a lot of dust in the air which cut down on the view. Parking here was limited, but people just parked along the (1-way) road after the lot filled up. That could add a bit of extra hiking. Neither of these hikes is that strenuous. We spent a bit over 2 hours here, but it would have been a bit shorter if we'd started the loop at the correct end.

This park has some very very sturdy fencing as well as a very nicely done double-gated entry area the entry area actually has a concrete path so that if you are in a wheelchair you can wheel right in and wheel right over to the very specific handicap seating area!! How awesome is that! This park is well thought out and has everything a dog park needs. As you enter you will notice the concrete path leads all the way out into the park and makes a nice complete walking path circle. They have multiple shaded areas, the one in the back actually has a nice picnic table as well as seating places it looks like a dog walked on the concrete wall when they were building it! More than enough room for your dog to run and you park right next to the dog park. This clearly explains why there were so many people here and there was no one but an old cantankerous man that didn't like other dogs around his at rancho del lago! So if you love your pup bring it here
