Parks and Recreation

MISSION: To provide recreational opportunities by developing and managing regional parks, trails, and natural areas.

VISION: The Coconino County Parks and Recreation Department will improve the quality of life for all by partnering with others to offer a variety of recreational experiences, provide quality facilities and services, protect natural and historic areas, and develop educational opportunities throughout the county for a diverse and growing population.

We accomplish our mission and maintain our vision by operating five county parks in beautiful northern Arizona, producing the annual Coconino County Horse Races and Coconino County Fair events, and implementing the November, 2002 voter-approved capital improvements sales tax initiative, the Coconino Parks and Open Space Program.
