Lake Pleasant Regional Park Cultural Resources Management Plan
PROJECT USDI Bureau of Reclamation, Phoenix Area Office.

In the early 2000's, Lake Pleasant Regional Park (LPRP or the Park) was in an undeveloped portion of Maricopa County, Arizona. Population growth in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area over the past 30 years, however, resulted in the expansion of new housing developments along the edges of the city.
