1 Vision Statement Queen Creek s interconnected network of parks, trails, open spaces and recreation opportunities provide safe and diverse activities and programs that sustain its unique, small town, equestrian agricultural character centered around the natural beauty of the Queen Creek and Sonoqui washes and San Tan Mountains. The vision, goals and objectives are the framework around which recreation facilities and programs will be planned, designed, implemented and managed for the next 20 years. The vision, goals and objectives reflect how the residents of Queen Creek feel their parks, trails and open spaces should meet the recreation needs of current and future residents. Public input from citizens, staff and community leaders is essential for the development of a successful master plan. During the first meetings with the Parks, Trails and Open Space Steering Committee (Steering Committee), the public and the Youth Commission, participants were asked to identify the elements that define Queen Creek for them. From this input, draft vision statement alternatives were provided to the Steering Committee. Through a revision process, the vision was established. The above vision statement represents what the Town s philosophy is toward its recreation facilities and programs. Goals, Objectives and Policies The purpose of developing goals for the Master Plan was to reflect the community s values, intentions and aspirations for parks, trails and open space. They define the longterm end toward which programs or activities are ultimately directed. The goals form the fundamental building block for the objectives and policies. Objectives provide a way to measure the Town s progress toward the realization of the goals of the Master Plan. Objectives are specific and measurable. Policies enable the Town to monitor the extent to which it is succeeding in implementing the plan. By establishing parks, trails and open space goals, the Town: ensured agreement on the purpose of the Master Plan; provided a basis for the commitment to the Town s parks, trails, recreation and open space resources; and addressed the funding issues for a Town without a property tax by establishing a general tone with regard to parks, trails, recreation and open space. METHODOLOGY A draft of the Master Plan goals were developed, beginning with the Town s General Plan, 2002 and the goals in the Parks, Trails and Open Space Element. Public and staff 10
2 comments were incorporated into additional goals, objectives and policies. The goals are divided into the three themes that represent the Town of Queen Creek s vision: Interconnected, Opportunities and Character. The goals of the Master Plan establish a purpose for the following areas of importance: Establish an implementable comprehensive trail and park plan Protect native habitats Expand non-motorized transportation opportunities Promote recreation opportunities for residents of all ages and abilities Enhance cooperation of local and regional entities Foster recreational opportunities Prioritize improvements Preserve Queen Creek s rural character Capitalize on regional and local amenities GOALS GOAL 1 INTERCONNECTED Create a comprehensive trail system within the Queen Creek planning area. Objective 1.1 Develop a linked trail system that connects neighborhoods with recreation facilities throughout the community. Policy Develop equestrian, bicycle and pedestrian facilities that connect activity areas, parks and/or open spaces within the planning area. Policy Work with Pinal and Maricopa counties to develop direct trail access to the San Tan Mountain Regional Park. Policy Ensure that there are equestrian trail linkages throughout the planning area adjacent to compatible developments and neighborhoods. Policy Develop a safe standard equestrian crossing that can be easily integrated into intersection improvements, as needed. Policy Design all road crossings to accommodate trails and to minimize disturbance of the natural environment. Policy Expand bicycle access and facilities throughout Queen Creek and implement a bicycle plan that identifies routes and specific needs of the commuter and recreational riders. Policy Establish policies for the improvement and dedication of Queen Creek and Sonoqui washes for recreational purposes adjacent to these washes. Policy Protect, enhance and promote existing and proposed equestrian neighborhoods through proper buffering and land-use transitioning. 11
3 Policy Require new development to provide the necessary linkages to the open space and trail network for equestrian, pedestrian and bicycle users. Policy Establish trail linkages within residential developments. Policy Connect existing and planned subdivisions, the Town Center, community and neighborhood parks and the San Tan Mountain Regional Park with a bicycle and pedestrian trail network that can include sidewalks, paved and unpaved trails and paths.

Policy Protect residential neighborhood and equestrian-oriented areas from intrusion of more intensive land uses.
