Tucson Parks and Recreation offers a free Community Pass providing access to eight locations throughout the city: Fred Archer, Cherry Avenue, El Rio, Freedom, Marty Birdman, Oury, Quincie Douglas, and Santa Rosa centers. Three other types of passes are offered for all other locations: Universal, Restricted, and the Senior Activity Card. Universal Passes must be purchased for the El Pueblo Center, Morris K. Udall Center, and William M. Clements centers. The Restricted Pass can only be used at Donna R. Liggins and Randolph centers. The Senior Activity Card may be used at Armory Park Center, El Pueblo Activity Center and Senior Center, and Morris K. Udall Center, and Carol West Senior Center on any day, and on all other centers designated "Senior Days." Depending on the location, benefits may include using the gymnasium, weight room, indoor track, racquetball courts, locker rooms, and game areas. All participants must take a certification class before using weight equipment.

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).
