VCA Parks

There are numerous natural areas throughout the Rancho Vistoso community for the enjoyment of all residents.  A system of nature paths traverses the community north to south. Our major thoroughfares include bike-ways to encourage non-motorized modes of transportation. There are 13 parks in Rancho Vistoso, including 11 neighborhood parks that are owned by the Vistoso Community Association (VCA) and maintained with our assessments. 

All of the parks have the following general rules:

  • Hours: Sunrise to 10:00 PM
  • No glass containers
  • No Alcohol
  • No Vandalism – Report it – There is a reward.
  • Please remove all debris and refuse
  • Children under 6 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
  • No dogs off leash
  • Pick up all pet waste

Rancho Vistoso residents are fortunate to have a vast variety of parks within our community.   Parks and open space have been noted to promote physical activity, reduce stress, improve air quality, and in general increase quality of life.  Parks and open space can fulfill basic human needs such as connection to neighbors and friends, connection to self, and connection to nature. 

The table below can help you identify the park and desired amenity.  We hope you will take advantage of the many resources in Rancho Vistoso.  Click Here to download a PDF of the table.
