Park ownership throughout Millcreek can be confusing. Within our city limits there are several parks with a mix of ownership. As an example, the largest park in the city, Big Cottonwood Park, is owned and operated by Salt Lake County. The same is true of Evergreen Park. Tanner Park, although it seems to be in ---PAGE BREAK--- Millcreek, is actually in Salt Lake City limits but is also owned and operated by Salt Lake County. Parleys Historic Nature Park, just to the north is a Salt Lake City owned and operated park. When Millcreek became a city, we gained ownership of four parks within our boundaries: Canyon Rim Park, Fortuna Park, Scott Avenue Park and Sunnyvale Park. The city contracts with Salt Lake County Parks Operations to provide maintenance for these green spaces. Of the four, it became immediately apparent that Sunnyvale Park, located at 4013 S 700 West, was in dire need of improvements. This park serves a large immigrant and refugee community. The city applied for and was awarded grants for two phases of park improvements for Sunnyvale Park. The first phase has been completed and included installation of much-loved futsal courts and community garden boxes. Phase two is nearing completion with installation of lighting, playground equipment upgrades, an improved soccer field and refurbishment of the pavilion. The community garden boxes have been very popular and are overflowing with nutritious vegetables for the gardeners who reserved and cultivated their individual box, providing fresh produce for their families. The area around the park lacks grocery outlets where residents can purchase fresh produce and is known as a “food desert” so the ability to grow fresh vegetables is very important. In addition to providing fresh vegetables for their families these gardens provide the ability to grow produce that recent immigrants are familiar with from their home countries. We are excited to see the community garden boxes flourishing, and playground equipment should be installed next week, completing phase two of the improvement project! ---PAGE BREAK--- A Message from Salt Lake County Animal Services Get ready for The Best Virtual Party of the Year, SPAYghetti TO-GO, with Salt Lake County Animal Services on Thursday, August 19, 2021 from the comfort of your home!
