Jefferson Park Concept Designs
Salt Lake City’s Department of Public Lands has released two concept designs for future improvements to Jefferson Park (1084 S. West Temple) and is asking for public feedback through an online survey. The three-acre park and detention basin in the Central Ninth neighborhood is planned for safety, accessibility, and connectivity upgrades, including a perimeter walking path, improved lighting, gathering spaces, native landscaping, and new recreation features. A new playground was installed in September 2025 as an early improvement.
The concepts were shaped by community input and balance park amenities with the site’s stormwater function. While the designs are similar, they differ in amenities and placemaking details. Public feedback will help guide a final design, which can be viewed on the Jefferson Park project webpage.
