Imagine a neighborhood like a living scrapbook—each street, home, and park page tells a story of courage, community, and change. That’s Armory Park, a historic heart of Tucson where the past and present meet, and neighbors still wave hello.
Armory Park began as Tucson’s “Military Plaza” in the late 1800s, a strategic site for the U.S. Army’s Camp Lowell, which protected early Tucson and supplied other military outposts. The neighborhood’s name comes from Arizona’s first armory, built here in 1914—a castle-like building that hosted military drills, community dances, and even basketball games for the University of Arizona. As the railroad arrived in 1880, Armory Park grew into a bustling community for Southern Pacific Railroad workers and their families, with homes built from new materials brought by train. Over time, the area became a patchwork of Victorian, Queen Anne, and Mission-style homes, making it Tucson’s first Historic Preservation Zone and a National Register Historic District.
Today, Armory Park is more than its history. The park itself is a green oasis with memorials honoring Tucson’s veterans, a community garden, and a hub for local events and gatherings. The neighborhood is famous for its tree-lined streets, strong community ties, and a spirit that welcomes both newcomers and long-time residents.
Armory Park sits at 222 S. 5th Ave., Tucson, AZ 85701—right in downtown Tucson.
There’s public parking nearby, and the Sun Tran bus and Sun Link streetcar make it easy to reach Armory Park from anywhere in Tucson.
