My husband go often and sit by the big pond. It is peaceful, beautiful, calming in a world that is turbulent right now. And I love to see the vistas and the ducks..

A great historic location, with access to the Dev Anza Trail. The lake and new ciengas are fast becoming one of the best birding locations in Pina County.

Great collection of artifacts and neat buildings. Lots of history here. I hope they open the big house eventually but they have done a great job renovating the buildings you can entry.

We went to their first holiday festival and had a nice time. The ranch has a couple of restored buildings which were decorated for the holidays but the main house is not restored yet. The history of the ranch is very interesting and well presented by displays and there were docents present to give added insight into life on the ranch.The holiday fest was small with only a couple of food vendors and a handful of craft vendors and a couple of artists. But what was there was good quality and hopefully it will become more popular over the coming years. A horse drawn wagon ride showed off the newly restored pond and was enjoyed by the kids. We stayed for many of the dancers and a mariachi band but left before the tree lighting. Overall it was a lovely few hours.

A work in progress. It shows how important agriculture and ranching were in Green Valley. The volunteers are very well informed and enthusiastic, as well.

Sorry, I know little about the Ranch and more about hiking the historic de Anza trail... which we love. A great place to start a 7ish-mile hike south to Mile Zero and back.

Park development is still in the early stages. But, the setting, adjacent to the Santa Cruz River is spectacular. Large lake stocked with fish. The ranch headquarters, stables and corrals are very cool. Easy access from the I-19 freeway. Cant wait to visit again.

Fasinating history of a southern Arizona family and their huge ranch. WELL DONE Pima County for keeping the builders out of a historic site and preserving the regions history. The volunteer docents, Vern, Bob as well as who I believe is the site manager are passionate, knowledgable and welcoming. Thank you and well done.

A great place to visit and to see the History of the west. This is a Pima County park with tours of the 4800 acre ranch and the Mexican/Spanish History of the development of the Southwest. In addition the Pima Park Volunteers and staff have tours about Juan Bautista de Anza and the the reconstruction of the adobe buildings and fencing on the Ranch. A new Lake was constructed in late 2017 and has attracted a lot of birds and birders. A great Park to visit in Green Valley.
