Beautiful tile work at Santa Cruz River Park

On north Riverside Drive at west Ontario Street, just south of Speedway and west of I-10 (click there for a satellite view and map from Google) is this heartbreakingly beautiful (sorry... :) mosaic work by Community artists and Santa Theresa Tile Works.

The photo at right is one of the pillars in the central plaza. (You can see a photo of the central plaza on today's post Beautiful murals (and walking) at Santa Cruz River Park in the Tucson's Pocket Parks blog.

Below is detail from that photo.

Head west of the Santa Cruz for some great art — and a stroll, too.

I took the photos in 2007.
