Tucson Parks & Recreation Department - Outstanding!

Most cities have a network of parks and a few recreational activities offered through the municipal government--we pay for it through taxes and come to expect it.  I've noticed through the years that Tucson seems to offer more than a lot of other places I've lived, but until yesterday, never really had much of an idea about the incredibly broad scope and outstanding programs offered!

At a local health fair, I noticed a booth manned by a staffer from Tucson Parks & Rec.  In just a few minutes, I was blown away as she gave me a brief overview of the programs and services they offer.  Rather than have her spend 20 or 30 minutes just to tell me more, I grabbed a booklet (64 Pages!) to study on my own time.

WOW!  It is truly amazing what they have for the community--fitness centers with top quality equipment, after-school programs, seniors programs, an amazing array of classes, events and activities, parent-child interactive programs...you name it.  NOW I know why the young lady beamed when she told me that Tucson Parks & Rec is regarded as one of the best in the nation!  Click on the logo above to check it out yourself.

Hey Kent - The Parks and Rec dept has done a terrific job in most areas but Tucson is really lacking in fields for kids to play sports like baseball and soccer.  Because of the climate down here youth sports are gaining massive popularity steam and the kids are low on resources.  What can we do to help?  One way is to vote for the Naraja Town Site.  Check it out at http://www.naranjatownsite.com.

Cheers

Paul - I'm all over the Naranja Town Site (Lyra Done would shoot me if I didn't vote for it!).  The playing fields are something to bring awareness of.  Thanks!

You know me, just have to get a word in for the local ball fields.  THanks for the awareness.
