San Lucas

The San Lucas neighborhood is located on the northern periphery of Marana, off Marana Estates. This is a small and cozy place with tiny parks dotted all over the area. All the dining and shopping facilities are located a short car ride away, either in the city center or Marana Estates. While you're here, you'll want to visit the San Lucas Community Dog Park, which is a specially designated place for furry friends to play off-leash and enjoy their doggy lives. The park is not huge, but has enough room to play and romp, featuring separate areas with grass and gravel. Lots of shade is available at the park, but you will have to bring water with you.

You will have enough room and to roam, with more than 5,000 acres of wild streams, magnificent canyons and welcoming foothills.

Located between a number of small and medium-sized neighborhoods in the northwestern part of Tucson, Christopher Columbus Park is a beautiful place to find a retreat with your pooch. Located near the Silverbell Lake, the park is just perfect for off-leash swimming and splashing.

Locals love taking their pups for a day off to the park and staying until dusk, so if you are looking for some great company, you will find it in Christopher Columbus Dog Park!

Northwest Tucson

Northwest Tucson is a dog-friendly neighborhood which features shopping and dining venues for locals and visitors. The neighborhood is densely populated, but has managed to reserve a spot as a small, fenced, off-leash area for dogs – Sixth Avenue Dog Park. This is a small park, but it is big enough to have an amazing day out with your pal! In the summer, the park also provides swimming pools where dogs can cool off and enjoy the weather. Apart from the park, the neighborhood also boasts two dog-friendly eateries, and both are worth visiting! Wild Garlic Grill on 1st Avenue has an outstanding menu and dog-friendly outdoor tables. Or, try Sausage Deli, which is happy to serve traditional cuisine to you and your pal at the outdoor tables.
