Regional Athletic Center Playground Update

Exciting news! The Salt Lake City Regional Athletic Center (RAC) is adding a new playground that is sure to become a citywide destination. We are thrilled to be bringing this addition to our community and want to ensure that it meets the needs of the children and families who will enjoy it most.

That’s why we are inviting you to fill out our survey and let us know what you would like to see and play on in the new playground. Your feedback is crucial in bringing the community's visions to life, and we can't wait to hear from you!

As our communities grow and change, it’s essential to continue to invest in creating spaces where we can gather, play, and connect. The RAC is committed to supporting the Rose Park and West Pointe communities, and this playground is just one example of our dedication.

We want this playground to reflect the values of our communities, and we can only achieve this with your help. Please take a moment to complete the survey below. Let’s work together to create a new playground that we can all be proud of!

SLC Public Lands Department take on Ridge to River Relay

Salt Lake Public Lands Department staff took on the Seven Canyons Trust Ridge 2 River Relay Triathlon with gusto on September 21st. The triathlon consisted of a bike ride from Utah State Fairpark to Memory Grove along the City Creek path, followed by a kayak leg up to 1800 North, and a final running leg back along the Jordan River Trail. This exciting event was in support of watershed education and the conservation of our valley's beautiful seven canyons rivers. We're proud of our team for their commitment to public lands and our natural environment.

September was quite a busy month for us. We had a fantastic time at the following:

Fisher Mansion Beer Garden event, sipping cold beers and enjoying each other's company. It was truly a great event that brought everyone together.
The Sandlot Movie Night at Jefferson Park was also a blast. We kicked back and relaxed while watching the movie.
Lastly, we celebrated the Madsen Fall Festival at Madsen Park. It was a perfect way to welcome the new season and get into the festive mood.
