The history of Saguaro Ranch Park is enough of a reason to check this place out.
This is a hot spot for local photographers since there is a variety of landscapes. I've done several photo sessions here and recently was informed that you will now be required to have special permission and/or a permit. If you are caught breaking the rule they will ask you to leave. Please respect their rules and be courteous.
As a child I called this place "Peacock Park" since there are peacocks roaming around. Do not scare them or chase them. But if your calm and patient you may be lucky enough to capture a photo with one. In a recent maternity shoot I did there I captured the shot at just the right angle and the to see their completely outstretched feather fan. Gorgeous!
Okay now if your looking for a park that you can bring your children to .... They have a great play place for the children of all ages, as well as a spacious picnic area and large grassy area to run and play. My children absolutely love the play equipment which has been recently updated.
Saguaro Ranch Park is certainly worth a visit! But please remember to respect the rules of the park and the precious peacocks!
