Confirmed from Canada del Oro Riverfront Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Family-friendly spot for playing baseball as well as soccer and basketball at outdoor courts.

The loop is Amazing! The view all around is gorgeous. I went there for a walk it was very accessible for people with disabilities whether on a wheelchair or walker . Plenty of shade to rest under in between. It has a very cute playground . It's my go to for morning or afternoon walk.
The Loop is straight up awesome. These photos are from the Oro Valley section facing the golf course where all the old people play.
Beautiful and well-maintained park with great facilities! There’s plenty of parking space and clean washrooms. The park has a football ground, a volleyball court, and a nice playground area for kids. The walking paths are wide and wheelchair accessible, and there are several seating areas to relax.
My guy and I enjoy playing bocce ball and tennis here. Also a good spot to take the kiddos to play or just take a nice sunset walk. Grateful to have it in the area.
