Julia Keen Stormwater Park
Project status
This project has entered the construction phase.
About the project
Tucked within the City of Tucson's Parkview Park, the Julia Keen Stormwater Park is being designed to capture water from nearby streets, helping reduce flooding during small frequent flow events. While its primary purpose is to manage stormwater, the park will also provide a space for residents to relax and connect with nature.

The Julia Keen Stormwater Park is in the design phase, and we’re excited to offer several ways for you to help shape its future. Whether you're interested in learning more about stormwater parks or providing feedback on the design, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. Check out the important dates timeline to see upcoming events and pre-registration details for applicable sessions.
