Chuck Boyer’s Fantasy Island trails begin at Harrison at Irvington on the East Side of Tucson. A state trust land permit is required to ride at Fantasy Island.
I haven’t ridden this island paradise yet. Thanks to Scott Morris at TopoFusion.com for the GPX file (which I used to create the TOPO! and the kmz file). I’ll post my review later this winter when I finally get down there. In the meantime here are some links to what others have said about the trails:

Amazing trail! I took some clients out, renting bikes from tucsonbikerentals.org who rents mountain bikes right by the trail. I think it is best coming in from the south side like the other guy says and there are a few good places to eat nearby.
Rode this course and it was a ton of fun. Coming from the north I made the mistake of driving thru town based on some recommendations, but I think I would have been better off taking I-10 and parking on the south side of the park on Valencia and riding the easy bunny loop as a good warm-up. Live and learn.

Thanks for the video glenn. Nice footage.
I absolutely love this trail. Here is a link to my AZ video. I have ridden it on 3 different trips to Az. I know there are better more hard core trails, but this is a great close to the city begin/intermed. trail. It is relatively flat. Have fun & bring some water.
