Skyline Regional Park has more than 100 new parking spaces, according to the City of Buckeye.
The city made the announcement on its Facebook page, unveiling the 131 new spaces “to better serve the growing number of visitors enjoying one of Buckeye’s most popular outdoor destinations.”
Included in the expansion project are 93 new stalls at the North Trailhead and 38 new stalls at Discovery Point.
The $4.2 million project is part of a larger plan designed to increase public access and recreational use at the 8,700 wildland park on Watson Road at the base of the White Tank Mountains.
The city recently leased about 640 acres of public land through the Recreation and Public Purposes Act that will improve trail connectivity between the existing park and the neighboring Verrado community. Improvements will include new trails, trailheads, staging areas, shade structures, restrooms and access roads.
