A Message from the Director
Payson Community,
We are excited to share the latest from the Payson Parks and Recreation Department with you! Here, you'll find a wide variety of programs, events, and activities for the whole family to participate in. Whether you want to enjoy the outdoors, join a class, or spend time with family and friends, there’s something for everyone.
We are proud to announce that BJ Bollier was recently named "Outstanding Volunteer of the Year" and Mustang Park received the "Outstanding Facility of the Year" award through the Arizona Parks and Recreation Association (APRA). These recognitions highlight the dedication of our community and the quality of the facilities we offer. We couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who contributes to making Payson such a special place.
Our team remains committed to providing “Next Level” recreational opportunities that make life better in Payson. From fun and innovative programs for all ages to new events like Payson Days, we’re focused on reflecting the unique spirit of our town.
Thank you for your ongoing support and participation. Be sure to follow us on social media and visit our website for the latest updates. Let’s make this Fall and Winter season one of joy and connection!
