If you aren't looking north as you drive along this part of Glenn (just east of Stone), you probably won't notice this beautiful new pocket park:
There are a few picnic tables, though they aren't shaded — mid-days, at least:
There are some shady patches under the trees — and, in the afternoons, under these rooflets (try bringing a folding chair to sit here):
The small play area has a nice padded covering on the ground that should help kids from being hurt if they fall.
Some fun public art and sculpture are scattered around:
The City of Tucson's Keeling Desert Park webpage was mostly empty when I wrote this mid-June, but it may be ready by the time you see this.
There's no water fountain, so bring your own H2O.
Location: 1½ blocks east of Stone on Glenn
Hours: No gate, but no lights either. (There are neighbors close by on three sides, so quiet is appreciated.)
Parking: If you're in a car, park along Incas Place, across Glenn from the parklet.
