Peralta Regional Park is Officially Open!

On Wednesday, January 11th, 2023, County officials cut the ribbon to officially open the Peralta Regional Park, located a few miles north of U.S. 60 near Gold Canyon, in the northern portion of Pinal County.
The park, part of land leased from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), is planned and designed as a unique backcountry recreation experience with a soft touch on the natural environment.
Constructed in less than a year, the park cost $5.4 million, $2.6 million of which came from a Land and Water grant through Arizona Parks and Trails.
The project was designed by EPG, and Hawkke was the general contractor. Only 22 acres were disturbed as part of the project with 105 saguros put into a nursery and then replanted after construction, while 24 saguros were given to the Tonto National Forest.
Key features of the park are:
* 9 miles of nonmotorized trails that range from barrier-free to challenging
* 31 car and tent camping sites
* 18 picnic sites, including 2 large group ramadas
* 1/2 mile Interpretive trail
* Stargazing node, perfect for the area's dark skies
* Equestrian Staging Area
* Waterless Restrooms
The park is open from dawn until 10 p.m. every day. Day-use entry is $7 per vehicle, while overnight camping costs $10 per night for all individual sites, and group sites are $35 per night.

Beautiful park, very well done. I rode my mountain bike there. Very steep and very difficult climbs either direction. Seems like the trails are more for hiking or equestrian in mind. Would be fun on a class 1 e-bike. But you can’t beat the views or the nature.
