Greetings from the Board
This month’s article is written by Dan Sturmon & Susan Wood. Dan is the Vistoso Community Association (VCA) Secretary and Architectural Landscape Review Committee (ALRC) Chair. Susan is Chair of Parks and Landscape Committee which is a subcommittee of the ALRC. They work together with members of their committees to oversee our community’s residential and commercial properties as well as all parks and common areas of the Vistoso Community Association.

Fall has arrived in Rancho Vistoso, bringing cooler temperatures! It is the perfect time of the year for Vistoso Community members to get out and explore all your 10 “soon to be 11” private neighborhood parks. Thirteen total parks are within our boundaries, when you include Honey Bee Canyon and Vistoso Trails Nature Preserve that are managed by the Town of Oro Valley. The Board along with the Parks and Landscape Committee encourage all residents to see what is new in the parks.

Some interesting facts about VCA parks:
1. 6 acres of grass exist in the park areas throughout the community.
2. There is a network of trails connecting our community, such as Phone Line Trail and Wood Shade Trail.
3. Over 5000 trees, along with thousands of shrubs, cacti and native plants, exist in the parks. The parks are maintained by AAA Landscape Service under the direction of the Parks and Landscape Committee and First Service Residential Property Management Staff.

In 2022, the Board of directors, with guidance from the Parks and Landscape committee approved the replacement of damaged park furniture with durable attractive tables, benches, and trash cans. Also, new park Sail Shades that were replaced at Hohokam, Torreno West and Wildlife Ridge parks.

So it’s time to go picnic in the park, shoot some hoops, walk the dog, take a jog or play tennis.

To keep our parks accessible and desirable for all to enjoy, we ask our residents to review and adhere to the posted park rules which you can find them on the VCA website, under Residents Info/Polices and Resolution. You can also find more information about our parks on the website under Community Info/Recreational Park Areas, which lists of all the parks, their amenities and community map.

We have a very unique and ever-changing community. It is run by volunteers from the community who donate their time either as elected Board members or Committee members who are appointed. If you are interested or have questions, please contact First Service Residential staff for information 520-354-2729 or [email protected].

From The Board of Directors, ALRC and Parks &Landscaping committees we hope to see many of you at the “soon to be named” newest community park on E Moore Loop Rd. Saturday November 12th between 9am to11am. Click here to see details about the Grand Opening.

See you at the Park!
