The town has its own school district with a variety of elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as alternative schools. It is adjacent to the western half of Saguaro National Park, with views of the Tortolita Mountains, and the town prides itself on the plethora of recreational activities available to visitors and residents alike. Golfing, hiking, and parks are just some of the major draws, along with the newly opened Tucson Premium Outlets at Marana Center.
