Flashvote survey results on Oro Valley Parks: Fewer than 500 responded & of course only residents who knew about the survey could choose to participate, but interesting results, nonetheless

Disappointed at the election results, but the need for fields and other facilities detailed in the Oro Valley master plan still exist. Those caring about fulfilling those needs might want to keep who voted against kids and facilities in mind when zoning, etc for the no-vote constituency comes before the Town Council.

Results will be coming in soon. Hopefully we have a favorable result for the kids of Oro Valley and the rest of us as well. The best communities have great parks for all ages.

The Off Leash Dog Area at James D. Kriegh park is for dogs of any size & often less crowded. My friend's dogs & mine had it all to themselves for their play date this afternoon.

Congratulations to the Oro Valley incumbents for their convincing win in yesterday's failed recall effort. All four of you have been wonderful supporters of Oro Valley parks & work tirelessly to provide recreational opportunities for ALL ages and abilities. We look forward to the Oro Valley you envision.

At long last, lacrosse has arrived in Oro Valley. Probably too late for the (then) high school boy who had just moved from Delaware to OV that I saw practicing his lacrosse moves all alone on a Riverfront Park soccer field a few years back, but not too late if he has younger siblings.
