Fodor's Review:

Fertile soil and proximity to the Rillito River once enticed the Hohokam to construct a village on this site. Centuries later, a fort (in operation from 1873-91) was built here to protect the fledgling city of Tucson against the Apaches. The former commanding officer's quarters has artifacts from military life in territorial days. The park has a playground, ball fields, tennis courts, and a duck pond.
