Update to the APS Transmission Line Project
In July, the Big Park Council requested donations for our community to conduct a final legal analysis regarding the APS proposed above ground transmission line. Thanks to our generous donors, the legal analysis is complete. Disappointingly, on the advice of Counsel, the Big Park Council will not pursue litigation against the Forest Service. We have strong arguments to bury the full transmission line, but the case would not be judged on merit. Administrative judgements of this type are limited to procedural grounds only, as outlined in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1970.

Update to the Yavapai County Dark Sky Ordinance
In July, Yavapai County adopted new outdoor lighting standards. Every time a light burns out, you can make a change. Click Yavapai County Dark Sky Flyer 2025 for a copy of the flyer and follow link to the Dark Sky section of the Big Park Council’s website for further details.

Who We Are And What We Do
Since its incorporation in 1997, the Council has provided the Big Park Region, including the Village of Oak Creek, with a structured, representational organization to serve the community’s interests.
We represent more than 6,100 citizens
Today the Council includes 23 Residential, Business and Educational organizations, who in turn, represent more than 6,100 citizens. The Council’s focus is not limited to our members. Unlike individual HOA’s and enterprises – our mission embraces the best interests of the entire community.
The Big Park Council acts as the voice of the Village to government and private organizations affecting Village life. The Council provides unique value to the region in the form of communication, education, and collaboration.
The Council meets monthly on the second Thursday of the month at 9am. Currently, all meetings are via Zoom. Sign up for our Newsletter to receive Community News and meeting details. Check the calendar for future meeting dates.
