Main Pond (Pond 1)

The Bridge to the Island on the Main Pond at Agua Caliente Park was installed July 13, 2020. Pima County Conservation Lands and Resources (CLR) plans to relocated a few benches on the island for patrons to sit, relax, and enjoy the serenity and scenery. We are nearing the completion of a long journey. Special thanks to Pima County CLR & Flood Control for continuing to pursue this project and to the Friends of Agua Caliente for financial and moral support to keep the project moving forward.

The teal color is from the sealant used and will settle out in the next few weeks. A bridge will be installed to the main island this summer and a grand opening will be scheduled in the Fall.

Pond History back in time.

The Following Pictures are from a time when the water was low. The lack of water was a result of reduced or lacking spring water flow and problems with the pump.
