The Palo Verde Neighborhood Association (from Speedway to Grant and Country Club to Alvernon) has a pocket park next to a Tucson Water well. There seems to have been a burst of enthusiasm around 2014 and 2015, then — from the looks of the bulletin board (see the photo below), website/blog, and Facebook page — things aren't as active right now.
The park is in a quiet spot, though, and it has a bench near two big mesquite trees:
The address is on Fairmount Street… there's a photo of that side below. But you can also come in from Willard Street — on the south side of the parklet.
I haven't asked anyone in the Neighborhood Association about the pocket park's status. I did find a webpage on Conserve2Enhance.org with information about the park's watershed enhancement goals.
Here's a sign with more information. I've saved it extra-large so, I hope, you can read it by clicking on it:
There's also a bulletin board with listings for events in 2015:
Location: Center of Palo Verde Neighborhood
Hours: 7 am to 7 pm
Parking: Street parking
