Agua Caliente Park is one of Tucson's most beautiful parks.  Bring your cameras! 
There are no ramadas. The park is first come, first served. We hope to have some MSN members arrive early and save us a picnic table. I also advise all attending to bring folding chairs-we hope for more than will fit at a single table!
Please bring your own plates, cups, flatware, and a dish to share. 
As Agua Caliente Park is quite far east, I hope to arrange car pools. For further information, call Lee & Merlin at 207-5336 or leave me a message by phone at 325-4754 or e-mail at wilcoxgay@gmail.com

Agua Caliente, literally meaning "hot water," is a unique 101-acre park with a perennial warm spring flowing into three large ponds. The water source has attracted a wide variety of waterfowl and other wildlife species to the true oasis environs. Human

habitation at the spring has been found to date back about 5500 years. The site makes for a perfect place for a picnic, family outing, or a day hike.

Drachman Agua Caliente is located at 12325 East Roger Road, on the far east side of Tucson. Drachman Agua Caliente has a long and very interesting history associated with it. In 1873, for example, a ranch and health resort was developed to promote the curative properties of the warm springs. The ranch bunkhouse, which dates back to the 1920s, was used by ranch hands.

Improvements have added the modern conveniences, but never at the expense of historical aspects of the park, including a paved entry drive, parking lot and sand-topped paved trails that have been painstakingly designed to blend with the surrounding desert oasis.

Interpretive signs, such as those in some of the pictures, explaining the unique geology and history of the warm spring, as well as the natural and human history of the site, are conveniently located throughout the lush green park. The new entry gates, and also the interpretive sign supports were produced as part of the public art component of the park development. The ranches and caretaker cottage are refurbished.

Enjoy the Park!
