FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Coconino County residents waiting until the New Year to reserve picnic ramadas at County parks can make their reservations beginning March 1.

Traditionally, visitors to parks managed by the County Parks and Recreation Department could reserve ramadas beginning Jan. 1, but the County is in the process of switching over to a new recreation-management system to assist in managing the parks.

When up and running within the coming months, the Internet-based system will allow visitors to reserve campsites for the summer season at Fort Tuthill Park between May 1 and Sept. 30. The public can receive information on the entire County Park system at www.coconino.az.gov/parks.

Ramada reservations will begin March 1 and can be done Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ramadas can only be reserved by calling the County Parks and Recreation Department at (928) 679-8000 or in person at Fort Tuthill County Park at 2446 Fort Tuthill Loop.
