The City of Tucson Mayor and Council has given notice of intention to revise rates and fees for Tucson Parks and Recreation, Park Tucson, and Planning and Development Services customers beginning in FY 2025. The City is hosting a series of in-person and virtual public town hall meetings for the community to find out more about the revisions and provide feedback prior to the April 9 Mayor and Council meeting to consider approving the recommended fees. If adopted, the proposed rate change plan would go into effect July 1, 2024. To watch a recording of the first meeting visit the link below.

The final in person meeting will be held on Monday, March 4, 5:30-7 p.m. at Parks and Recreation Administration, 900 S. Randolph Way. Join the virtual Zoom meeting on Thursday, March 7, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Click the button below for more information and a link to join the meeting.
