Board adopts updated parks and recreation facility-use rules after public outreach

The Coconino County Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance 2025-09 Dec. 9, approving updated facility-use rules, policies and procedures for county parks and recreation facilities.

Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Liz Krug told the board the updates followed a periodic review, outreach to the Parks & Recreation Commission, special-event producers and the public, and internal staff review to address changes in park use and public-safety considerations. Krug said the commission recommended approval and staff posted notice of the public hearing; the clerk reported no public comments were received during the hearing.

Supervisors thanked staff for a multi-year effort to modernize the rules and noted the updates will help clarify expectations for special events and everyday users. The ordinance was moved and approved by voice vote without opposition.

Next step: Parks and Recreation staff will implement the revised rules and continue outreach to permit holders and community groups.
