Attendees can enjoy special perks, including free limited-edition water bottles and stickers (collect them all by visiting multiple open houses). Additionally, those who attend can take advantage of a 50% discount on universal memberships, which must be purchased during the event to qualify for the promotion.
“Tucson Parks and Recreation is committed to providing spaces where everyone feels welcome,” said Director Lara Hamwey. “These open houses are a great way for the community to see all the opportunities we have to offer for connection, fitness, and fun.”

Regional Transportation Authority Survey
The Regional Transportation Authority needs your input on its draft, $2.46 billion regional transportation plan via a public survey. The 20-year RTA Next draft plan includes roadway, transit, safety, ADA, bicycle, pedestrian and environmental improvements for the greater Tucson region. The regional investment will generate thousands of transportation industry jobs and permanent jobs over the life of the plan and enhance the safety, reliability and connectivity of the transportation network for you, your family and the local business community.
The RTA Board will consider your feedback before it prepares a final draft plan for voter consideration as early as November 2025.
