REMINDER: Today is the final day to submit feedback for the Reid Park draft master plan.
TUCSON, Ariz. — After two rounds of community surveys, multiple open houses, pop-up events and outreach campaigns, the City of Tucson is presenting a draft of its Reid Park Master Plan.
Based on responses, Tucson park-goers showed a wide interest in creating more wildlife-friendly areas of Reid Park, sharing their own experiences of animal encounters there—primarily water fowl and native birds.As such, the plan includes an ecology-focused design:"Citation Wash becomes a defining feature of the park, referencing Sonoran riparian habitats while offering flood control and water quality benefits," the website says.
The planning team, which has consisted of Tucson Parks and Recreation, Sasaki, Kaneen Communications and Wheat Design Group, says they have out together a master plan for the public space they say reflects the input received from the community. Survey-takers who identified as racial and ethnic minorities also indicated a strong preference for increased spaces for fitness, wellness and outdoor gatherings.
