Lincoln Regional Park

Lincoln Regional Park is a expansive public park located in the southeastern quadrant of Tucson, Arizona. Spanning 419.4 acres, this regional park offers a diverse range of recreational facilities and natural areas for visitors to enjoy. The park is situated at 8330 E. Escalante Road, bounded by Camino Seco, Irvington, Pantano, and Escalante roads.

The park features a blend of developed recreational areas and preserved natural desert landscape. A significant portion of the park, approximately 20% of its total area, remains undeveloped, with about 60% of this undeveloped land designated as a Protected Natural Area. This designation helps maintain the park's natural desert ecosystem and provides habitat for local wildlife.

One of the park's notable features is the Atterbury Wash Greenway, a multi-use path that connects various sections of the park. This paved segment, stretching 0.9 miles from Escalante Road to the Fred Enke Golf Course, is illuminated from dawn to dusk and is designated for pedestrian and bicycle use only.

The park is home to the Julie Marilyn Reitan Softball Complex, named in honor of a local softball player who played for the University of Arizona. This complex serves as a venue for various softball events throughout the year, including youth tournaments.

Lincoln Regional Park also includes the Atterbury-Lyman Sanctuary, offering visitors an opportunity to observe local wildlife and enjoy the natural desert environment. The park's diverse landscape provides a balance between active recreational areas and spaces for nature appreciation.

The park is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., with certain areas like the softball complex having specific operational hours. Visitors should note that the park undergoes regular maintenance, with some facilities closed on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
