SITES in Salt Lake City: Glendale Regional Park
Feature graphic image credit: Design Workshop.
Glendale Regional Park, located on the west side of Salt Lake City (SLC), Utah, is a 17-acre park proposed on the site of an abandoned water park, Raging Waters/Seven Peaks park. Due to the significant repairs needed, no prospective operators were identified to lease the water park from the city. Instead, SLC's Public Lands Department set out to create a publicly accessible outdoor recreation area—a much desired resource for the Glendale neighborhood.
