SENECA PARK DEDICATION
SATURDAY, NOV. 5
City of Tucson Ward 6 Council Member Steve Kozachik, Pima County Supervisor Adelita Grijalva, and the Palo Verde Neighborhood Association (PVNA), invite you to celebrate the dedication of Seneca Park and its green stormwater infrastructure and flood control basin. What is now Seneca Park was formerly a site used for industrial purposes. It was hardscape that had the effect of flooding more than 200 properties downstream and throughout the Palo Verde Neighborhood. Through the combined efforts of the PVNA leadership, former Pima County Supervisor Richard Elias, and City Council Member Steve Kozachik, an inter-jurisdictional planning effort began.
Through a planning team consisting of the Pima County Flood Control District, City of Tucson Parks and Recreation, and PVNA leaders, the design was finalized and the park was completed in February 2020. The green space and walking path are amenities the entire community can enjoy. The three basins capture water runoff and have the added benefit of replenishing the aquifer.
Join us as we celebrate the restful central city greenspace with a walking path, benches, and native plants.
Date: Saturday, Nov. 5, at 10 a.m.
Location: Seneca Park, 3701 E. Seneca St.
