Fleet Block Open Space
Project Information
The City has designated approximately 3-acres of the Fleet Block for a public open space to provide access to nature, recreation opportunities, gathering areas, and more for the Granary District neighborhood and the broader city. This vision was made official in the Reimagine Nature Public Lands Master Plan.
In addition to the new public open space, the Salt Lake City Arts Council has identified this site for a public artwork commission. The artwork will be designed along with the open space to ensure a cohesive, beautiful experience. In the spirit of what the site has represented in the past, the City aims to design a public space and commission a public artwork that reflects themes of social justice – signifying a welcoming, inclusive, and just city.
A final preferred vision for the public space should be determined by late 2026. Design is anticipated to continue into 2027. Construction on the public open space and installation of the public artwork may begin in late 2027.
The full project background is available on the main project page .

The Concept Plan
This concept for the Fleet Block Open Space weaves native Wasatch plantings and gathering areas for large and small groups. There is a large central plaza with shaded seating areas, a water feature, and lawn areas. A walking loop connects the diversity of spaces including rain gardens, an amphitheater lawn, community play areas, and a festival street.
