A number of community parks were initially planned: Exploration Park, Mountain's Edge Regional Park, Paiute Park, Helen Stewart Park, John C. Fremont Park, and the Nathaniel Jones Park. By 2009, only the 85-acre Exploration Park had been developed. In 2009, the development company proposed downgrades for the other parks due to lack of funds.<ref>Danielle Nadler, [http://www.viewnews.com/2009/VIEW-May-19-Tue-2009/SWest/28712857.html "Mountain's Edge behind in promised recreation areas "], ''Southwest View'', 19 May 2009</ref>
