Picture Rocks District Park

Tucson, Arizona

Pima County Natural Resources, Parks Recreation selected SAGE to lead this development of the Picture Rocks District Park. SAGE is assisting our client by flexibly responding to the public needs and environmental conditions and agilely adjusting the process to keep this project moving productively forward. Our goal for all on-call projects is to quickly understand the project, ask pertinent questions and develop a scope of work that melds with the Agency's thoughts and needs.

Picture Rocks District Park involved working with a ten-year-old project budget. We worked to adjust the scope of work to meet the budget while still accomplishing key project objectives. One solution included enlisting the County Floodplain Management Division to assist with the Hydrology Report and provide funding for that work through separate budgets.

Picture Rocks District Park includes master planning, environmental compliance, public involvement and construction documents for Phase One improvements. SAGE worked with Pima County and U.S. Fish and Wildlife to fit the park features and habitat preservation together in a manner that supports recreation and conservation. SAGE coordinated ESA consultation through Section 7 compliance.
