Public Health and Park Safety Advisory

The City of Phoenix is currently gathering final stakeholder feedback regarding Ordinance G-7467, which was passed by the City Council in late 2025. This ordinance prohibits specific medical treatments within city parks and mountain preserves. While the policy was approved with an 8–1 vote, the effective date is set for March 30, 2026. The city is using the month of March to conduct community education sessions prior to enforcement.
