2025–2027 Strategic Plan now available
New event space at Pusch Ridge Tennis Facility
A shaded event area is now complete between the Pusch Ridge Tennis Facility pro shop and court #1. The upgrade includes two shade structures, concrete pads, bleachers, picnic tables and artificial turf, creating a comfortable gathering space for players and spectators. The improvements support Oro Valley’s thriving tennis culture at El Conquistador and the regional tournaments that contribute to the local economy.
Archery range improvements
A new shade structure now covers the Naranja Park Archery Range shooting line, along with a new paved pad to improve accessibility. This space is among the only public outdoor archery facilities in Southern Arizona, and these upgrades enhance comfort for visitors enjoying the park’s fixed target range and two 14-target walking courses. The Town previously secured a $25,988 Arizona Game and Fish Department grant to help fund the project.
