Attention all Salt Lake City residents! Salt Lake City Public Lands is currently planning the future of the seven-acre Allen Park in Sugar House. As one of the city's newest public spaces, this site has both cultural and environmental significance that deserves attention. That's why we're inviting you to share your ideas and thoughts about how the park can meet the needs of all city residents.

To participate, click on the link below, where you can complete a survey, leave location-specific comments on a map, and engage in discussions about the park's important features and role in the city's park system. The website also provides a calendar of events and opportunities for public presentations.

The deadline for public comments is September 30, 2023. Your input will help create two or more design concepts, which residents will have the chance to review and comment on in the fall. Ultimately, the final design concept will help determine how to spend the $4.5 million in General Obligation Bond funds approved by voters in November 2022.

Join us in shaping the future of Allen Park and share your ideas today!

We are excited to share with you the results of the recent public engagement on the Miller Park capital improvement project. Public Lands has been working tirelessly with various organizations and stakeholders to ensure that this project is executed in a way that improves ADA access and preserves the park's historic walls. We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to the Yalecrest Community Council and all other organizations who have contributed to this important endeavor.

Based on community engagement, we have identified several projects that prioritize the goals we have set for this project. We invite you to view the engagement report on our project webpage, which outlines our methodologies, results and recommended projects. Our team will be taking these recommendations to the City Council this summer for the final decision on whether these projects can be accomplished with the current funding.

Our staff will continue to work with stakeholders and the community to ensure that our design improvements align with your needs and preferences. We encourage you to visit our website regularly for updates on future meeting dates and project progress.

Together, we can make Miller Park a beautiful, accessible, and historically significant nature haven that all can enjoy.

Exciting things are happening in the Jordan River Corridor! The Emerald Ribbon Master Plan is in the works, and your feedback and engagement are needed to help inform the improvements.

To make it even better, we are creating an interactive map of the corridor to share the special places and stories with the community. Whether it's a favorite lunch spot, a specific bench or tree, or a historical/cultural story, we want to hear from you. You can even fill out the form multiple times if you have multiple places or stories to share!

Check out the map of the stories we've collected so far, and add your own here.

Let's work together to make the Jordan River Corridor the best it can be!

Summer is in full swing, and we're thrilled to report that June was a month filled with fantastic events! We kicked off our new event series with a bang, providing weekly yoga sessions at Pioneer Park that proved to be a popular and rejuvenating activity for residents.

But that's not all - we also hosted an incredible weekly Outdoor Film Series at Liberty Park, featuring movies that can't be found on streaming platforms. It was a unique cinematic experience under the stars that left attendees feeling awed and entertained.

And, of course, we brought back the beloved Yappy Hour events, which fostered a sense of community and celebration of the bond between humans and dogs. We were thrilled to see residents and their furry companions coming together to socialize and have a great time.

As we look ahead to July, we're excited to continue these popular activities and introduce something new: mesmerizing drone shows! We're committed to providing diverse and enjoyable experiences for our residents, and this new addition promises to be an awe-inspiring addition to our event calendar.

Overall, we're proud of the success we've seen so far and are committed to making this summer season a fantastic one for everyone involved. Thank you for your continued support and participation in Public Lands events.
