Reimagine Jefferson Park

Jefferson Park was one of Salt Lake City’s neighborhood parks selected for funding from the Parks, Trails, & Open Space General Obligation Bond (GO Bond). In addition to the Bond’s $750,000 for general park improvements, the park was awarded $530,000 from the constituent Capitol Improvement Program (CIP) for a lighted perimeter path and amenities. Since the park serves the community as a vital stormwater protection site, any site updates must prioritize the site’s primary function as a detention basin. Public Lands is seeking input on two concepts and suggested amenities inspired by an initial round of public engagement in 2025. Both concepts seek to make the park a safer, more welcoming park, with a strong sense of place.
