Plans call for six neighborhood parks, three plazas and four major trail projects
Summary
The plan proposes P1–P6 neighborhood targets, PL1–PL3 plazas and T1–T4 trails including the Mill Creek Greenway and a $10 million UDOT-backed 3900 South shared-use path, phased over short-, mid- and long-term timelines.
The Parks Plan outlines a menu of specific project targets intended to expand access and address gaps. It lists six neighborhood park target areas (P1 Downtown Parks; P2 Water Tower; P3 Southgate; P4 Mill Creek; P5 Riverfront‑Meadowbrook; P6 Granite Legacy). The plan also proposes three plazas (Water Tower, Central Pointe Station, State Street) and four trail/greenway priorities including a Mill Creek Greenway and a 3900 South Shared Use Path.
A recommended phasing and budget‑planning table shows short-, mid- and long-term timeframes for park, plaza and trail pieces and reports Grand Totals for short-term acreage increases. The plan highlights the Mill Creek Greenway as a transformative east‑west connector and prioritizes extending its Fitts Park section from 300 East to 300 West. For the 3900 South Shared Use Path (T4) the document notes a $10 million allocation from UDOT announced in 2024 and construction slated to begin in 2026.
The plan recommends pursuing parks through land acquisition, partnerships with the Granite School District and UTA, and using tools such as privately owned public spaces (POPS) in downtown to deliver publicly accessible open space where large parcels are scarce.
