A recording of the concept walkthrough and surveys for both projects are available on the project websites linked below.
Gene C. Reid Park Outdoor Performance Center Improvements
Improvements to the Outdoor Performance Center are funded by Tucson Delivers Proposition 407 voter-approved bond funds. In November 2018, City of Tucson voters approved Proposition 407, a $225 million bond package for capital improvements. The bond funds are dedicated to improving City park amenities (playgrounds, sports fields, pools, splash pads, and recreation centers) as well as connections (pedestrian pathways, bicycle pathways, and pedestrian and bicycle safety).
In 2023, Tucson Parks and Recreation engaged event hosts to better understand the need for improvements to the Outdoor Performance Center. Based on their feedback, and with a focus on ADA accessibility, a concept plan has been developed. At this stage, the broader community is asked to share its input to shape the next steps for this beloved performance space. The plan, as well as a video walkthrough, can be viewed at tucsonparks.info/reidpark.
Randolph Park 22nd Street Path and Dell Urich Golf Course Concept Plan
In 2023, Sasaki completed a feasibility study exploring opportunities to enhance green spaces around the golf course as part of the "Randolph Reimagined" initiative.
In September 2024, Parks and Recreation took a more detailed look at improving the walking experience along 22nd Street, adjustments to Del Urich Golf Course, as well exploring green space opportunities around the golf course. Consultants discussed potential ideas based on the feasibility study and sought community input for future development.
Currently, Parks and Recreation and design consultants have developed a concept plan to present to the community. The plan, as well as a video walkthrough, can be viewed at tucsonparks.info/randolph.
The community’s input is vital in shaping the future of these spaces to ensure they meet the community’s needs and aspirations. Surveys for both projects will close on Monday, Feb. 17, at 11:45 p.m.
