Welcome to the Home Page of the Piñon Oaks Folks
We are a voluntary
organization of residents and property owners in the Piñon Oaks sub-division of Prescott, Arizona.
We are located to the west of Willow Creek Road at the intersection of Pioneer Parkway on both the north and
south sides of the Parkway.
The mission of Piñon Oaks Folks (POF) is to preserve, protect and enhance the quality of life in this subdivision
for the benefit of all who live or own property here. We are interested in matters such as responsible land use, environmental
protection, advocacy, communication and social interaction among owners and residents.
Any owner or renter in the Piñon Oaks sub-division is eligible to join our organization. Please see the
Membership Information section below for more details and
how to become a member.

Firewise Certification
Folks,
After a nearly two-year coordinated effort, Piñon Oaks received its official FIREWISE neighborhood certification. This
photo was shot at a recent PAWUIC meeting. I wish that everyone on the Piñon Oaks
Steering Committee could have been there to be
included, but we can take another picture at a future Steering Committee meeting perhaps next to one of the posted FIREWISE signs to post
on our website.
Speaking of our FIREWISE signs, we got 4 signs (2 for the North and 2 for the South Side) to put up at the entrances to our
neighborhoods. After the PAWUIC meeting, Rich Hall and I drove over to the Prescott City Hall to obtain permission to mount
these sighs on existing Prescott city sign supports.
We (myself, Jim Campbell, and Rich Hall) will try now to put together a grant proposal for this year funds to clear perimeter
areas of the South Side. We'll review this at our next Steering Committee meeting.
Again, my thanks to everyone (especially Yavapai County Supervisor Brown, Past PAWUIC Chair Bob Betts, Chief Steve
Lombardo, and AZ DFFN Dude Jake Guadinana) for their support to our neighborhood fire safety effort!
Regards,
Jim Zimmerman Chair, POF Steering Committee

Picnics and More
Here's a photo of a typical Piñon Oaks Folks social event because life is not just about dealing with different issues that arise. These
picnics are held at various times and places throughout the year and are very popular with our members. This particular one was held
at the Heritage Park Garden ramada and was very well-attended by Piñon Oaks Folks members.
For more pictures of one of our social get-togethers, please see our Photos page.
