Great news for the Town of Queen Creek! It was awarded a grant from the Arizona Horse Lovers Foundation to create an equestrian trail along the bottom of the Queen Creek Wash from Hawes Road to Desert Mountain Park.
The project includes a safe equestrian ramp from the trail node at Desert Mountain Park into the bottom of the wash. The grant is one of 12 the Foundation awarded in 2008.
The equestrian trail is the critical link in the trails master plan in the Town's overall Parks, Trails and Open Space Master Plan and is part of a larger multi-use trails project on the top of the Queen Creek Wash from Hawes Road to Desert Mountain Park.
Trails and paths are the number one recreational and leisure amenity desired by Queen Creek residents per the most recent Recreation Needs Assessment Study. Construction is slated to begin in March 2009 and run through December 2009.
Congratulations, Queen Creek residents!
