El Presidio de Tucson Mini Park

What a wonderful place! It is not far from the art museum and houses the Gem and Mineral Museum, along with the courtroom where the Earp gang was tried. It’s a step back in time, and a look into the future. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

Historic plaza that contains sculpture/statuary that commemorate the Mormon soldiers on their way to California and the Spanish soldiers that were stationed at the Presidio. Nice plaza with areas to gather and there is also shade that is not found at the historic county courthouse. One stop asking the Turquoise Trail.

El Presidio Park really isn’t really a ‘park’ in my mind but I would call it a ‘square’. Nevertheless it’s a very nice place to hang out and relax. I love the cacti and the historical monuments which are educational. Once they finish the renos for the old court house it will be even better. The Meet Yourself Festival which is held there annually is pretty cool too.

Attractive park near the beautiful Old Pima County Courthouse.

Usually the only time i come here is for tucson meet yourself. This is a must attend event in my opinion. Even if you leave outside of tucson. Hundreds of thousands of people come here over 1 weekend. The event is mainly for food and culture from all the different communitys in tucson: mexican, Brazilian, Chinese, Russian, Turkish yes of course the turkish food is the best, shameless plug :D. Cost: free entree Parking: anywhere in downtown, usually $10 Family friendly: big yes Month of event: every October Veggie options: yes all over Lest crowed time/ day: mornings/friday Most crowded time/day: evening/saturday

I loved seeing the courthouse. It was beautiful! There is a walk that goes around downtown Tuscon, and you can follow the Turquoise line to different spots around town. The Courthouse area was the best part of the walk. The rest of the walk is fun to see, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do it again.

It was an incredibly beautiful boxing day, well worth looking around, I saw quite a bit in my hour stroll, there was a congenial friendly security guard roving the vicinity lots of Flora and fauna, friendly tourist and polite children on scateboards. Lots to view within a close proximity...

Been going through there on my way to the library. Tucson City Hall, Pima County Superior Court are all located there. Also monuments commentating Tucson and Pima County's rich history. Go there to relax after a long day at work. Would highly recommend this historic plaza.

This is a cultural park, lots of beautiful architecture, statures and memorials but nowhere for little children to play. I visited this park on a Saturday. There was a water fountain. No public restrooms except for when the courthouse and surrounding businesses are open on the week days. Parking was difficult to find. The parking garage under the park is also not open on the weekends. The morning I visited it was full of transients. As an adult I loved the park it's self but I felt very nervous.

Beautiful area. Enjoyed the heritage museum inside the county courthouse building. Learned a few things about the area that I never knew, even after living here so many years.
