The Rillito Park Foundation is an Arizona 501(c)3
non-profit dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and betterment of Rillito Park. We
believe that private action fused with public support is the best instrument to achieve these goals. We believe that Rillito Park should be managed and
developed through a public and private partnership with Pima County. Through this process, the Park’s true potential to serve for the enjoyment of all can
be realized for now and in the future.
