Federal funding from the state of Arizona is being sought by Pinal County for the 498-acre Peralta Regional Park to be constructed near Gold Canyon.
Pinal County’s open space and trails department is slated to develop recreation facilities at the site, including picnic tables and shelters, equestrian and hiking trails, restrooms, car- and walk-in campsites and educational kiosks, and a dedicated area for stargazing.
The Pinal County Board of Supervisors recently voted on a resolution to submit an application for financial assistance under the provisions of the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, Public Law 88-578, to Arizona State Parks and Trails. It authorizes the director of the county’s open space and trails to enter into an agreement between Pinal County and the state of Arizona upon federal approval of the project.
