CITY OF TUCSON AND INTERMOUNTAIN CENTERS BREAK GROUND ON NEW INTERMOUNTAIN SENSORY PARK
City of Tucson Ward 1 Council Member Lane Santa Cruz, Tucson Parks and Recreation, and Intermountain Centers will break ground on Intermountain Sensory Park, a public park that is designed to accommodate those on the autism spectrum. In the fall of 2019, Tucson Mayor and City Council approved the development and maintenance agreement of this park. It will be one of the only parks, west of the Mississippi, designed to accommodate those on the autism spectrum and will include elements for those individuals with physical disabilities. The new park will provide a safe and accessible place for people and their families who are living with autism in the Tucson area.
What: Groundbreaking
When: Tuesday, Sept. 15, at 3:30 p.m.
Where: Intermountain Centers, 401 N. Bonita Ave., Tucson, AZ 85745
The park build-out will happen in phases as funds become available. Phase I improvements, include new fencing and a new turf play area will be completed this fall. Financial support from the community is necessary to complete the construction. Not only will the community’s financial support put our great city on the map, but it will greatly benefit those in our community that are currently under-served. To donate visit Intermountaincenters.org/donate.
