About the Location

Desert Oasis

Located in Tucson, Arizona, Desert Aire Park is a little touch of community greenspace amidst the urban landscape. This modest park blends natural Sonoran Desert elements with recreational spaces that locals frequent year-round.

Located in the Sonoran Desert setting, the park offers a peaceful retreat where you can escape the hustle and bustle without leaving the city limits.

What You'll Find

The park features several open turf areas excellent for throwing a frisbee, having an impromptu soccer match, or simply lounging with a good book. Scattered around the grounds are picnic tables where you can enjoy a family lunch or catch up with friends under the Arizona sky.

Kids will appreciate the playground where they can burn off energy while parents relax nearby. The equipment isn't fancy, but it gets the job done for little ones looking for some outdoor fun.

Good to Know

Desert Aire Park falls under the care of the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department, the folks responsible for maintaining green spaces throughout Tucson.

The park remains open to everyone, providing a welcome bit of nature in this corner of the city. It's not the biggest or most elaborate park in Tucson, but it's a pleasant neighborhood spot for locals.
