About the Chuck Ford Lakeside Park
Chuck Ford Lakeside Park is a beautiful 49.8-acre park located at 8201 East Stella Road in Tucson, Arizona. This park, part of the Metro Park system and located in Ward 4, is a popular tourist attraction known for its scenic views and recreational activities.
Named after Dr. Charles "Chuck" Ford, a former Tucson Vice Mayor and the first Black person to be elected to the Tucson City Council, the park was renamed in his honor for his work in saving the park after a dam collapsed. Chuck Ford passed away in 2019 at the age of 83.
The park features a variety of amenities for visitors to enjoy, including an activity court made possible by the generosity of Citigroup and the City of Tucson Ward 4 Council Office. This court allows visitors to play games like four square and other classic playground games.
Visitors can also enjoy the AJ Rico Playground, named after a longtime City of Tucson Parks and Recreation employee who dedicated her life to service and community. The playground features interactive games and activities for children and families to enjoy.
In addition, the park offers opportunities for outdoor recreation, such as a standing long jump area and a hopscotch course. Visitors can challenge themselves and have fun while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Chuck Ford Lakeside Park.
Overall, Chuck Ford Lakeside Park is a must-visit destination for nature lovers, families, and anyone looking to enjoy a day of outdoor fun in Tucson, Arizona.

Reviews of Chuck Ford Lakeside Park
"Nice Clean park with stocked fishing lake and plenty of shade trees"
"Every morning and evening I take my dog, Jax walking through the park and the desert area around the park. We have also walked around the lake. He gets excited watching the ducks swimming. It's really peaceful early in the morning and at night. I love looking at the stars and also seeing the sun sets and rises as well."
"Nice peaceful and relaxing went with my father because he wants to do some fishing. Definitely would recommend coming early less people that's when I go."
"One of the best parks in Tucsom if you want to find yourself a neat place to enjoy the view. Has a park area for the kiddos and some concrete games (hopscotch), but has even better impressive land space for a baseball diamond and a soccer field."
"Beautiful family park. They keep this park really clean and the duck will come right up around you when you go down by the bank. If you like to walk the trail is amazing and clean most of it is shaded. There's a lot of grass to have picnics and the playground has a spinner on it that all the kids seem to love the people in the area seem to be very very friendly I would definitely recommend going here. The only thing I wish is that you could swim there"
