Friends of Coconino County Parks: Upcoming Schedule of Events

Thank you for your support of Friends of Coconino County Parks and Coconino County parks, trails, and natural areas.  We hope you'll be able to participate in these upcoming activities!  Please visit our website for more information.

Saturday, September 17 
Picnic in the Park- 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Supervisor Matt Ryan and the Parks & Recreation Department invite you to the 10th Annual Picnic in the Park at Raymond County Park in Kachina Village.  There will be kids' activities, information booths, and a BBQ.  The Friends of Coconino County Parks will be selling soda and water.

Bike Ride from Fort Tuthill to the Picnic- 10:00 a.m.

Meet at the tennis courts at Fort Tuthill (just east of the Fairgrounds and across the street from the Parks & Recreation Department office) and ride the Highlands Trail to Raymond County Park.  We'll enjoy some lunch and fun at the Picnic in the Park and then return to Fort Tuthill around 3:00 p.m.

Saturday, October 8
Bike Ride to Rogers Lake- 10:00 a.m.

In 2001, the Coconino County Parks & Recreation Department acquired over 2,250 acres at Rogers Lake, and in 2012, the Frontiere property at the west end of the lake was donated by the Frontiere family trust.  Come out and enjoy this spectacular new addition to the County parks system and join the Friends of Coconino County Parks for a bike ride from Fort Tuthill County Park to Rogers Lake.

The ride will start and finish at the Navajo Ramada (across from the Fairgrounds and the Parks & Recreation Office).  We'll ride out through Fort Tuthill to Woody Mountain Road and return the same route.  The terrain is intermediate with a round-trip distance of about 15 very beautiful miles.  Some climbing is required +/- 750 feet, and all riders should have a helmet and bike in good working order.  A spare tire tube, water, a snack/lunch, and sunscreen is also highly recommended.
