Midway parks committee hears updates on Warm Springs Trail, conservation easements and possible Hamlet park uses
Summary
At its June 23 meeting, the Midway City Parks, Trails & Trees Committee received staff updates on the Warm Springs Trail design, regional trail connections, several conservation-easement projects and possible recreational uses for the Hamlet open-space parcel; the committee approved minutes and adjourned.
The Midway City Parks, Trails & Trees Committee on June 23 received staff updates on a slate of parks, trails and open-space projects, including the Warm Springs Trail design, regional trail connections and potential recreational uses for the Hamlet open-space parcel.
City staff told the committee that the Warm Springs Trail remains in the design phase and is anticipated to begin construction next year. The committee was also told that the Trail Master Plan continues to guide future trail priorities, including new connections throughout the community and opportunities along Pine Canyon Road.
Staff said Midway is pursuing regional trail links with Deer Creek and Heber Valley through the Utah Trail Network and other long-range planning efforts. Several conservation-easement projects — Lundin, Heart of Midway, Pear Tree Llama and Mitchell-Kissel — were reported as continuing to move forward.
The committee heard that the Hamlet open-space parcel may accommodate recreational uses allowed under the public access easement, with examples listed by staff including a dog park and a pump track. Staff additionally noted that the Ameyalli public access easement could provide an opportunity for future geothermal-recreation uses, but that such options would be contingent on funding, planning and engineering review.
Committee members emphasized funding as a continuing constraint. Staff identified grants, impact fees and other funding sources as important tools to support future parks, trails and recreation projects; no specific funding commitments were announced.
Procedural business at the start and end of the meeting included a motion by Nancy O’Toole, seconded by Cristine Tuttle, to approve the April 28, 2026 minutes; the motion passed unanimously. Nancy O’Toole later moved to adjourn; Lisa Barkdull seconded and the meeting adjourned at 7:26 P.M.
The committee did not receive public comment during the meeting. The updates reported on June 23 will inform future planning and potential project outreach; no final decisions or formal project approvals were recorded at the meeting.
