Open Space

Prescott's Open Space Program seeks to promote quality of life for the citizens of Prescott by preserving and protecting the natural environment that has given this City much of its character. Its natural areas include magnificent vistas and panoramas, beautiful terrain, and native flora and fauna. Hills, sloping sites, and dominant rock outcroppings afford spectacular views of this natural environmnet. Seasonal streams and man-made lakes with their plant and animal life complement these scenic vistas. Prescott's unique natural areas must be preserved and protected for the enjoyment of current and future generations through the judicious use of Open Space Funds.

As Prescott continues to grow, open spaces will be woven into the fabric of the City. They will create harmony between physical development and the natural environment for the benefit of all Prescott citizens. Responsible custodianship of open space throughout Prescott will improve our City's quality of life. It will foster appreciation of the natural environment by providing increased opportunities for both passive and active recreation. Preservation of open space reinforces pride in our past and contributes to a vision for our future.
