The PPPI webpage includes features that allow visitors to explore project investments, view financial summaries, and learn more about the initiative’s history and impact. Users can view fund balance reports on capital improvement projects, including new playgrounds, trailheads, lighting upgrades, and water conservation efforts in neighborhood and desert parks. The new webpage will be going live by the end of the week.
Funded by a sales tax initiative first approved by Phoenix voters in 1999 and reauthorized in 2008, the PPPI supports vital projects that improve park infrastructure, protect preserve lands, and expand recreational opportunities across the City. The newly launched webpage will serve as a central hub for information about the program’s funding sources, expenditures, and completed and upcoming projects.
“We’re proud to give Phoenix residents a clear window into how their support is helping create safer, more accessible, and more sustainable parks and preserves,” said Cynthia Aguilar, Director of the Parks and Recreation Department. “This webpage reflects our ongoing commitment to transparency and community trust.”

Since its inception, the PPPI has funded hundreds of projects across Phoenix, from new park amenities to critical repairs and long-term preservation efforts for the City’s more than 41,000 acres of desert and mountain preserves.
“With this webpage, residents can see firsthand how their tax dollars are being used to invest in the health, wellness, and environmental future of our community,” said Cynthia Aguilar. “It’s one more way we’re ensuring accountability while celebrating the lasting impact of the Parks and Preserve Initiative Program.”
