What’s the latest?

Parks and Recreation, in partnership with representatives from Housing First and the Tucson Police Department, hosted an open house on Thursday, July 24, 2025, at the Therapeutic Recreation Center to help answer community questions about site outreach, encampment resolution, maintenance, operations, enforcement, and the design.

The team had some informative conversations with residents who expressed optimism and excitement about the project, compassion for community members experiencing homelessness, and a desire to see the project succeed with a concerted effort to continue service outreach and maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all once the park opens.

Next Steps

Parks and Recreation will use the insights shared through community outreach to develop an operations and maintenance plan for the park, finalize the design, and advance construction documentation and permitting. The team plans to take the project out to bid late summer and commence construction this fall.

Project History 

Parks and Recreation hosted a virtual public meeting on January 30, 2025, to introduce the project and update the community about outreach efforts underway with the City’s Housing First team. About 95 community members attended and shared their thoughts. If you weren’t able to make it, no worries! A recording of the meeting is posted below, along with Facts and Questions (FAQs) that were developed based on input received from the community.

Following the meeting, Parks and Recreation circulated an online survey from Jan. 30- Feb. 20, 2025, to learn more about community hopes and desires for this upcoming phase of improvements. 298 community members participated in the survey, and the results are posted at the link below.  

The team used the preferences shared by the community to develop a new concept plan for the site and posted it to the project webpage (see below) with a video walk-through and second online survey that circulated from May 3-May 25, 2025. 163 community members participated in the second online survey to provide feedback on the design and share preferences on what they’d most like to see built.   

We learned that riders are most interested in flow, jump, and technical trails. We also received excellentex feedback about signage and specific feature requests and heard that participants are generally supportive of the project and concept design but want to make sure the park is fully cleaned -up, encampments are addressed, and that the City works hard to keep things clean, welcoming, and safe post-construction.   

The full results of the survey can be viewed by following the link below. 

The 100-Acre Wood Bike Park is a collaboration among the Sonoran Desert Mountain Bicyclists (SDMB), the City of Tucson, Arizona State Parks and Trails, the Trek Foundation, and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

There is no parking onsite. Do not park on Golf Links Road or Alvernon Way. Off-site parking options include the Veterans' Memorial Plaza to the west or the Todd M. Harris Sports Complex and Freedom Park to the east with access to the 100-Acre site via the Aviation Greenway.
