Professional ecological contractors will be treating the following areas within the park for invasive species:
- Go John Trail (east and north sides),
- Slate Trail
- Overton Trail
- Clay Mine Trail (far west)
If possible, please avoid the area during this time.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
To protect native plants and habitats, Maricopa County Parks has hired professional restoration crews to treat invasive species such as Buffelgrass, Fountain Grass, Stinknet, and other annual weeds.
Crews will apply targeted treatments designed specifically for these plants. Ecological restoration signs will be posted at trail entrances while work is underway, including recommended waiting times before re-entering treated areas.
Please avoid posted areas during this time and stay on designated trails to ensure a safe visit. Thank you.
