Our Partners
Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County jointly provide a 50% match of funding for Sugar House Park’s operations and capital improvements. In 1990, the Park Authority contracted with Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation to maintain Sugar House Park. The city and county are important partners in the three-party agreement by which the Park Authority governs the park.
