Oro Valley’s parks and trail systems are vital to the community. Appreciation for these valuable amenities continues to increase. The community aims to maintain and enhance these features for users of all ages and abilities.

We value living in an active and outdoorsy community. Our priorities that shaped this part of the Plan include:

  • Increasing bike or pedestrian connections, routes, and trails
  • Improving parks and recreational facilities for year-round use

The guiding principle provides the foundation for building goals, policies, and action. It represents the desires of our community.

Grow and maintain OV’s outdoor and recreational opportunities:

  • Increase opportunities and improve the user experience at park and recreation facilities, especially during the hot summer months
  • Provide accessible recreational options for all ages and abilities
  • Support a variety of sports and activities
  • Expand biking, hiking, walking, running, and equestrian trails and connectivity.
