Village of Oak Creek, Arizona

Village of Oak Creek is an unincorporated community located within Big Park, a census-designated place (CDP) in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States.

Big Park, the pioneers' name for the large open area that became the Village of Oak Creek in the early 1960s, is set among scenic red-rock buttes and canyons.

The Bell Rock scenic area adjoins the north end of VOC, and the town is surrounded by the Coconino National Forest.

As of 2016[update], Big Park / Village of Oak Creek is a designated Dark Sky Community.

[5] In 2010, the name was changed to the present Village of Oak Creek (although alternatively called Big Park on census documents).

The Festival was a fundraiser for Native American scholarships at VVS, and long benefited from the sponsorship and generosity of Jackson Browne, whose son attended the school.

Normally a mostly-acoustical show, past headliners include Browne (who almost always performs), Neil Young, and Bruce Cockburn.

[11] According to Randy Hawley, a member of the board of trustees, the district was having trouble having enough money to operate Big Park Community School, and the number of students had declined.
