Parque de Orlando y Diego Mendoza

A Memory Lives On

Back in 1981, a small patch of urban greenery was dedicated to two young brothers, Orlando and Diego Mendoza. Their memorial lives on today as this peaceful pocket of nature in the heart of the city, offering a quiet place for reflection and community gathering.

Tiny Oasis

At just 0.3 acres, Parque de Orlando y Diego Mendoza might be small in size, but it offers a surprising amount of tranquility. Located in Ward 6, this mini park provides a welcome breath of fresh air amid the urban landscape, proving that sometimes the most meaningful spaces come in compact packages.

Neighborhood Favorite

Found in the charming Barrio Viejo neighborhood, this little green haven functions as a gathering spot for locals from nearby Santa Rita and Armory Park communities, as well as residents from the City of South Tucson. You'll discover it at the corner of South Convent Avenue and West 18th Street - an accessible little sanctuary for everyone in the vicinity.

A Place for Pause

While you won't find elaborate playgrounds or sports facilities here, what you will discover is something equally valuable - a serene space designed for quiet moments. The intimate scale and memorial character of the park make it ideal for those times when you need to step away from the hustle, sit for a moment, and simply be present in a place that honors remembrance.
