When the Rancho Vistoso Golf Course closed in 2018, Oro Valley residents rallied together to save the land and wildlife inhabiting the area from development. The Preserve Vistoso community group raised 2 million dollars and partnered with the Conservation Fund to protect the property. The preserve has 6 miles of paved trails, and it is managed by Oro Valley Parks and Recreation.
