21 Environmental Analysis

22 Biological Resources: Relatively large fragment of Arizona Upland and Lower Colorado River Valley Sonoran desertscrub Areas of dense and diverse predominantly native plant/ wildlife communities and native riparian areas 80+ bird, 11 mammal, 11 reptile/amphibian species observed in park in recent times

23 Actions That Have Affected and May Continue to Threaten Plants and Wildlife: Illicit removal of saguaros over time decreased d plant diversity Past development, road/canal corridors, and high activity human use areas fragment habitat

24 Actions That Have Affected and May Continue to Threaten Plants and Wildlife: Exotic/invasive species compete with native species and reduce wildlife habitat Use of unauthorized (or volunteer) trails by hikers and bicyclists extends human disturbance and impacts native plant health/density

25 Ecological Condition of Undeveloped Portions of Papago Park: Limited Impact/ Undisturbed Limited human impact Predominantly or completely native plant communities

26 Ecological Condition of Undeveloped Portions of Papago Park: Moderately Impacted Substantial ti recreation use Large contiguous tracts of open desert habitat or Relatively high wildlife habitat value

27 Ecological Condition of Undeveloped Portions of Papago Park: Highly Fragmented or Impacted Small areas of remaining desert Surrounded development Dominated by non-native vegetation Concentrated Concentrated human/recreational use

28 Importance to Master Planning Process: Biological resources provide unique opportunities for research, education, and recreation. Ecological condition is one consideration in prioritizing strategies for protection, preservation, restoration, and enjoyment.

29 Cultural and Paleontological Resources of Papago Park: 44 resources recorded: 1 paleontological l l site 27 archaeological sites 16 historic-age buildings and structures

30 Prehistoric Artifacts/Features, Including Hohokom Ruins, pre-a.d. 1 to A.D Loma del Rio Site Petroglyph Bedrock Mortars Ground Stone, Lithic and Pottery Sherd Artifacts

31 Hole in the Rock Archaeological Site and Place of Special Significance to Native Americans

32 Non-native Artifact Accumulations and Campsites, 1880s Military Facilities, early 1900s Frank Hamilton Cushing Salt River Valley Users Association, Cross-cut Canal, 1913

33 Civilian Conservation Corps, 1930s Amphitheatre Ramada Water Feature Foot Bridge

34 Works Progress Administration, 1930s Moeur Park Bench Moeur Park Ramada

35 1930s Architecture Webster Auditorium Hunt s Family Tomb Fish Hatchery Caretaker House Eisendrath House

36 WWII Prisoner of War Camp, 1940s

37 Actions That Have Affected and May Continue to Threaten Cultural Resources: Destruction of archaeological sites by development Intentional ti or inadvertent t damage to archaeological sites Neglect/disrepair of historic architectural features Neglect of archaeological sites/historic features due to lack of awareness

38 Relevance to Master Planning Process: Master planning process can provide road map to support the protection, preservation, restoration, and interpretation of cultural resources.

39 Facilities/ Program Analysis

40 Key Findings 1. Management Challenges a) Managed to different Standards b) Little Central Coordination between Stakeholders 2. Identity Challenges a) No Sense of Arrival b) Little Sense of Place c) Few Clear Linkages 3. Perception Challenges Destination First, Park Second a) Attractions are Independent Brands b) Identity of Papago Park is Diluted

41 Key Findings 4. User-Driven Challenges a) Social Trail Building b) Urban Camping 5. Cultural and Historic Significance Overshadowed a) Strong sense of Natural Resource Interpretation b) Little Cultural/ Historic Interpretation 6. Independent Program Policies and Practices a) Management Policies i differ on different portions of Park b) Daily Oversight differs

42 Key Findings 7. Differing Strategic Vision of Programs a) Attractions use Programs to Generate Revenue and Visitation b) Municipalities use Programs to Encourage Site/ Facility Use by Public. 8. Budgets Constrain Programs Organized by Municipalities 9. Limited Age Appeal a) Improved Trails b) Youth-Oriented Amenities

43 Project Identity Analysis

44 Project Identity Defining the Park Entries: Whether you are in a car, on a bike or on foot Development of a strong identity: Carrying that identity throughout the project
