The Sweetwater Wetlands is a water treatment facility and a urban wildlife habitat located off of Sweetwater Drive, just north of Prince Road, and just west of I-10, easily accessible from the east or west sides of Tucson. It is open to the public 7 days a week for self guided tours.
It is an easy walk around the site. Note that dogs and bicycles are not allowed on the walkways. |

The wetlands were built as part of an advanced sewage treatment and water recharge system by the City of Tucson. Currently it serves as both an aquifer recharge site and natural wetlands. Because of the variety of vegetation, from reeds to tall trees, the wetlands is a friendly spot for waterfowl and song birds, as well as mammals including bobcats and coyotes.
There is ample parking off of Sweetwater Drive, and potable water with excellent toilet facilities.
