The department is working to protect key open space lands around Flagstaff and throughout Coconino County as well as working to develop and maintain parks throughout the county. Places like <a title="Walnut Canyon National Monument" href="http://www.nps.gov/waca/" target="_blank">Walnut Canyon</a>, <a title="Information about Observatory Mesa provided by the Grand Canyon Trust" href="http://www.grandcanyontrust.org/programs/landscapes/az-state.php" target="_blank">Observatory Mesa</a>, and <a title="Location of Rogers Lake relative to Flagstaff" href="http://maps.google.com/?sll=34.58889,-109.57333&spn=0.05,0.05" target="_blank">Rogers Lake</a> will be considered as part of the planning process.Input from these Public Meetings will be used to shape the Coconino County Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which is scheduled to be completed by July 2008. The County has hired a parks and recreation consulting company to develop the master plan by integrating information about the values and priorities in our communities as reflected, in part, from these public meetings.The one meeting in Flagstaff is Wednesday, October 24, 2007, from 6 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the NAU School of Forestry Auditorium, S. Pine Knoll Drive (south campus). 9 application/xml Living in Flagstaff Learn More About Flagstaff This site contains a wealth on information about Flagstaff recreation, services and things to do http://www.BestFlagstaffHomes.com/bin/web/real_estate/AR49005/LOCAL_INFO/Flagstaff/1190221499.html false Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 aheitland false true false false true 178975 false false true false false false true 178435 blog blogsite/BestFlagstaffHomes/web
