The Sugar House Park Authority is currently accepting donations from individuals and foundations to address necessary capital improvements in the Park that have been identified in the recent Sugar House Park Master Plan, which was adopted in 2008.

The Master Plan, the first for the Park since the initial design in the late 1950s, found that age has taken its toll on the Park’s infrastructure, particularly the seven picnic pavilions and the three restroom buildings, and recommended that the Park Authority take immediate steps to upgrade these facilities. The Park Authority’s board of trustees intends to do that. The Park Authority, which is a 501(c)(3), non-profit entity (see “Park Info” on this website), will continue to channel its reservation-fee revenue into Park upgrades and will also continue to seek public funding for these needs, which is currently a difficult proposition. In addition, it is appealing to the public, the Park’s users, for contributions.

The current project in the Master Plan upgrade program that is being addressed by the Park Authority is a signage project, a project with a roughly $100,000 price tag that is in process now.
