Large regional park envisioned for Pinal County
By Joe Pyritz | San Tan Valley.com
Nearly 10 years ago, Pinal County began looking at important trails and open space areas from San Manuel to Maricopa. This study is now reflected in the Open Space and Trails Master Plan (OSTMP) adopted in 2007. In 2009 the OSTMP was included in the County’s Comprehensive Plan Revision.
To continue its commitment to trails and open space, in 2013 the County Board of Supervisors created the Open Space and Trails Department. The Board appointed an Advisory Commission, and identified six items from the OSTMP as starting points for implementation of the master plan.
One of those six items includes proposed Regional Park number 5 (photo) now being referred to as Peralta Regional Park.
