Comprehensive Use and Management Plan for Parley's Historic Nature Park
This page will be updated as more
information becomes available.
Parley’s Creek and the land that surrounds it at
the mouth of Parley’s Canyon has a special place in Utah history
as a crossroads, a center of industry, and an important natural
corridor. It is one of the largest and most diverse natural open
spaces in the Salt Lake valley and contains one of the most
natural and contiguous riparian corridors in the City. The
88-acre park was established to protect and interpret these
features. It has also been identified for decades as a critical
link in regional open space and trail networks.
The park is continuously growing in popularity for recreational
uses such as dog walking, BMX biking, nature appreciation, and
trail use along the Parley’s Trail, to be constructed in 2009.
Salt Lake City is currently developing the park’s first master
plan to help balance this diversity of recreation uses with the
need to protect sensitive natural and cultural resources in the
park.
The Master Planning process began in fall of 2008 and will
continue through spring of 2010, with the goal of having a plan
complete when Parley's Trail opens in the park." After the full
plan is complete, the city can allocate its budget and staff to
priority projects and management efforts to ensure the park’s
sustainable for the long-term.
