Please join us for a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, October 26 at 10 a.m. at the OV Community Center to commemorate the completion of the golf course irrigation project and the tennis/pickleball court renovation project. These exciting projects are part of the Town’s $25 million in bond financing for Parks and Recreation projects, which will be repaid by the sales taxes the Town already collects. Stay up-to-date on all bond-financed projects, including the Naranja Park Expansion Project, by clicking here or visiting orovalleyaz.gov and searching for PARK BOND.
In this episode, Town Manager Mary Jacobs speaks with Tucson Audobon Society Director of Engagement & Education Luke Safford about the joys of birding and the birding opportunities right here in Oro Valley.
