Head south on Park Avenue to 24th Street. On the west side of the street you'll see pillars that introduce what's ahead of you. The pillars tell some mid-20th-century Tucson history that I'd never heard: the African-American community of South Park Avenue, South Park Political Club, free movies under the stars at Mirasol Park, and a lot more.
Up ahead are tile-decorated bridges, bus stops, and benches to rest on. They continue, here and there, until you get to 36th and Park. (You might want to bicycle or catch a bus, by the way, because this'll all zoom by if you're in a car.) While you're in the neighborhood, check out other murals nearby.

This marvelous art installation is worth the drive just to see; and it's by local artist To-Ree-Nee Wolf, a Tucson treasure!
Tucson has 2 other historically Black neighborhoods that I recommend researching: Sugar Hill and Dunbar Spring.
