| Park Master Plan Passed |
Posted: February 22, 2008 - 2:27 pm |
The Sugar House Park Master Plan, which has been in process for the past year, was passed by the Sugar House Park Authority Board at its monthly meeting on January 24, 2008. The master plan, the first for Sugar House Park since the park was designed and laid out in the late 1950s, was developed by Psomas, under the direction of landscape architect Gerry Tully, who worked in concert with the Park Authority board. The master-plan process included three public-input sessions in 2007.
Guided by public input, the master plan recommends that the Park Authority continue to keep park preservation as its chief mission. However, it recommends a number of facility upgrades, to be addressed over the next decade, and it outlines the impact of the Parley’s Trail on Sugar House Park. A trail segment will run along the southern border of the park and is scheduled to be constructed in 2008. The Draw at Sugar House is expected to be designed in 2008 and perhaps completed in 2009.
