OVYAC’s Contribution to the Future of Naranja Park
For the past year, the Town of Oro Valley has been developing a new park to accommodate the rapidly growing population. Over the past few months, a number of surveys throughout the community have taken place in order to help solidify what the remaining undeveloped land will be used for. This issue was brought to the Oro Valley Youth Advisory Council’s attention by members of the Town Council looking for input from the younger population of the Town. Instead of simply giving the opinions of our members, OVYAC completed our own survey of the youth at our Dive-In Movie Night. In total, we had around 75 teens vote on what they wanted to see built in Naranja Park. In doing this, we were able to more effectively portray the opinion on the town’s youth. We are looking forward to seeing Naranja Park completed in the next few years in a way that all age groups can enjoy.
