Esquer Park Gets Major Upgrade | Tucson News

Tucson just poured nearly $1.5 million into a major upgrade of Francisco Elias Esquer Park in Barrio Blue Moon — complete with a new dog park split for small and big pups, a pedestrian bridge, walking paths, security lighting, and green stormwater systems. The city listened to residents, who’ve long wanted these improvements, and Mayor Regina Romero praised the community-driven design. Locals like Antonio Salcido are thrilled — his dog’s favorite spot is now just steps away. Funding came from multiple sources including CDBG, Housing funds, Prop 407, and ARPA, showing deep investment in neighborhood revitalization. Esquer Park is now a shining example of what happens when cities prioritize their communities. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
