Pavilion Reservations To Remain Closed

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 pavilion reservations will remain closed until further notice.

Reservations were scheduled to open on February 1st. Upon further consideration, Public Lands Administration determined that it is in the best interest of public safety to keep reservations closed for the time being.

If you are interested in reserving a pavilion during 2021, regularly check back on our pavilion reservation page to view any updates.
Help Us Ensure Proper Use of the 9-Line Bike Park

The 9-Line Bike Park, located at 700 W. 900 S., has become a popular recreation site for local bikers.

Unfortunately, misuse of the site has increased in recent months. Remote control car and off-highway vehicle users have started to use the bike park, which causes significant damage to the site.

It often takes our crews an entire day to repair the bike hills after damage caused by unauthorized uses.

Please help us by reporting any misuse of the bike park to the Salt Lake City Police Department. SLCPD's non-emergency phone number is:

(801) 799-3000

Memory Grove Sidewalk Project Completed

The sidewalk improvement project at Memory Grove Park is complete! This new sidewalk and stairs improve access to the off-leash dog area and the stairs that go up to A Street.
RC Park Update

In 2016, Salt Lake City Public Lands constructed a model airplane airport (Modelport) on the west side of the city (7595 West California Avenue).

The Modelport has been a successful venue for model airplane enthusiasts from all over the Wasatch Front. Public Lands is now considering expanding the venue to also include space for remote control car users. This would be a low-cost project that would fulfill a need that has been expressed to Public Lands by members of the community.

A community engagement campaign related to this project was completed in early 2020.
