AZ HCR2019

Legislature recognizes Arizona State Parks and Trails (ASPT) for winning the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) Gold Medal Award in the state parks category on September 26, 2017.

ASPT achieved record attendance of nearly 3 million visitors and revenues of nearly $18 million in fiscal year 2017 across 35 parks and natural areas.

State is expanding the parks system for the first time in more than 18 years, with three new state parks planned: Havasu Riviera, Cattail Cove, and Rockin' River Ranch State Parks.

Five parks across the state currently offer 32 camping cabins, with 100 additional cabins planned for installation over the following year.

Legislature extends appreciation to Arizona State Parks and Trails Executive Director Sue Black and ASPT staff for their efforts and achievements.
