Leash Up. Clean Up.
In Arizona, it’s the law that your dog needs to be on a leash when out in public, unless you are in an off-leash dog park. No matter where you take your dog, or how well trained they are, your dog is safer when on a leash, and so are you.

Tucson Delivers bar
On Nov. 6, 2018, City of Tucson voters approved Proposition 407, a $225 million bond package for capital improvements via General Obligation bonds. The bond funds are dedicated to improving City park amenities (playgrounds, sports fields, pools, splash pads, and recreation centers) as well as connections (pedestrian pathways, bicycle pathways, and pedestrian and bicycle safety). Projects will happen in phases through 2028. Thank you, Tucson voters! For more information on all the projects planned using Tucson Delivers bond funds, visit TucsonDelivers.Tucsonaz.gov.
