Fairmont Park Improvement Project

Fairmont Park, a 27-acre green space in the Sugar House neighborhood, is getting upgrades to make it safer, more welcoming, and more enjoyable for the community. Planned improvements include sprucing up the park’s north end, adding safety features, creating a new public art piece, and expanding the half-court basketball area into a full court.

The exact improvements have not been decided yet. To guide the project, the City will ask for input from park visitors and nearby residents. Community feedback will help the project team understand what people value most and what changes will make the biggest difference. These ideas will shape the final design and ensure the park continues to meet the needs of the people who use it.

The design team is beginning detailed design work to make the final concept design a reality. Professionals will analyze site details, materials, furnishings, plantings and irrigation, architecture for the new ranger/maintenance/restroom buildings, and more. The construction is anticipated to begin in early 2027.
