Back on February 18th, I saw the KGUN 9 TV story Midtown neighborhood association aims to keep vagrants out of nearby parklet. The neighborhood was planning a pocket park; the video showed what looked like an empty lot with some bushes and trees. If the neighborhood was strong enough to call for help and be on TV news, I thought the spot might be developed soon. So I waited a few months to see what happened.
I stopped by yesterday. The bushes were flowering, but not much else seemed to have changed. The video showed an interview with the neighborhood association president and mentioned that the parklet is owned by the Tucson Department of Transportation.
For now, you'll want to bring your own chairs, etc. The trees don't provide much shade.
Location: Take Edison east from Country Club or Rita south from Grant.
Hours: 7 am to 7 pm (the neighborhood seems to be serious about this…)
Parking: Street parking
