In 2011 the County acquired a 20-acre parcel at 36th Street and Kino Parkway for conservation purposes using the 2004 voter-approved bond funds. The purpose of the 2004 Pima County Bond was the acquisition of open space in the support of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan (SDCP). Compounding this issue for some years is the large homeless encampments on this property. However, the surrounding neighborhood is cut off from this natural conservation oasis with no trail access points. This parcel, located within the 18th Street watershed, is a riparian area with lush vegetation and natural flow paths. It will provide connectivity and bikeability to area residents via trails and walkways by providing shaded paths, improve safety and provide recreational opportunities. The project will implement low impact development and green infrastructure practices to restore riparian habitat, preserve the natural landscape, remove invasive plant species and provide secure access and amenities for residents including parking, ramadas, barbeques, picnic tables and paved ADA accessible pathways. The project involves the development of a 15-acre natural resource park. Desert Haven Natural Resource Park Concept PlanĬonstruction timeline for project: July through December 2020
