Remember the $85 million Parks, Trails & Open Space Bond that was passed by Salt Lake City voters last fall? We have exciting news! The City has determined which neighborhood parks, trails, and open spaces will receive improvements as part of the Bond’s “Reimagine Neighborhood Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces” project.
This project intends to “reimagine” about a dozen neighborhood parks, trails, or open spaces, with at least one project in each of the City’s seven City Council districts.
Investing in under-resourced (and sometimes under-utilized) local parks, trails, and open spaces improves access and activation and often reduces demand at larger parks. These projects also seek to empower communities by offering high quality park experiences for everyone that reflect the natural, historical, cultural, and economic identities of the neighborhoods that these parks, trails, or open spaces serve.
