  • Evening Lighting: Well-lit for visits during cooler nighttime hours.
  • Convenient Hours: Open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Miko’s Corner Playground is part of the larger Reid Park complex, which includes walking paths, picnic areas, and other attractions. The dog park itself is easily accessible and offers nearby parking, making it a convenient stop for Tucson residents in the Midtown area.

What to Know Before You Go

Before visiting Miko’s Corner Playground, it’s a good idea to bring waste bags, make sure your dog is vaccinated, and observe leash rules outside the fenced area. While the park is open until 10 PM, it’s best to visit during daylight or early evening hours to ensure safety and visibility.

"I can’t begin to say enough nice things about Dr. Miller, her demeanor and her professionalism. My beloved cat Van was in the final stages of debilitating malignant thyroid tumors that left him unable to eat and drink in his final days. Dr. Miller’s service of coming to the house to help Van peacefully pass was a relief. Dr. Miller’s comforting actions with Van and her reassurances to me helped make what was already a horrific experience as bearable as possible under the circumstances."
