In my humble opinion there are much nicer places to jog, walk or bike in Tucson. The main attraction of Rillito River Park is the fact that it offers a long, unobstructed pathway without interference of automobiles.

This lovely roadway on each side of the "river" is friendly and beautiful. There are small parks with water and rest area or you can get off the trail and enjoy one of many eaterys on the main roads.

I have not been to the park other than to use the paths for walking. Both sides of the river are paved is most parts and there is a place where you have to cross over due to current construction. A few rest stops w/ bathrooms, water fountain and maps of the river park walkways. Lots of bicyclists and joggers... More

Tucons and Pima county are doing a great job extending the Rillito River bikeway and hiking paths. It's great to be able to bike and hike along the 'river' and be able to stay away from the streets and crazy drivers. I hope that they will find the money to continue the extension project until they can have all of... More

It is a nice walk or boke ride along a dry riverbed if that is what interests you. Otherwise, it isn't very interesting.

Hey, it's a great place to hike, jog, bike, rollerblade--you name it. A bit crowded on the weekend. I haven't tried it during the week but plan to soon. It's clean, well-maintained and user friendly. I plan to return again and again.
