2025 Capital Improvements in Sugar House Park
Two pavilions, Big Field and Parley's Creek, are being replaced with new structures in 2025.
Check back to follow the progression of pavilion replacement.
Construction Status:
-
May 22–23, 2025 — Horizontal drilling to run new, individual electrical utilities to Parley's Creek, Mt. Olympus, and Sego Lily pavilions. Previously, all three pavilions were on the same power supply, so if power were turned off to a single pavilion, all three would be shut off. The new electrical supports a higher voltage, which supports the pavilion design with a power outlet at each column. This work will also help the future replacement pavilions at Mt. Olympus and Sego Lily.
