  • NileGuide Expert Says:

    Himmel Park is in the heart of the Sam Hughes neighborhood, one of the most charming and historic in Tucson. After the kids have played at the park, it’s worth taking a walk around the neighborhood to see the historic homes dating back to the 1920's and 30's. There’s also a public library at the park.


  • Description:

    • Himmel Park was voted Best Playground in Tucson by the readers of the Tucson Weekly, and with some justification. The park actually has three playgrounds. The westside section, near the pool, contains the toddlers' structure with beginner's slides and swings; then, there's more swings and the popular Giganto Slide of Death for the bigger kids, while the northeast side features a big climbing structure with several platforms and even more swings. All areas have lots of sand and picnic areas around them. Keep this place in mind if you're traveling with two-10 year olds.
