Project Description

The City has designated approximately 3-acres of the Fleet Block for a public open space to provide access to nature, recreation opportunities, gathering areas, and more for the Granary District neighborhood and the broader city. This vision was made official in the Reimagine Nature Public Lands Master Plan.

In addition to the new public open space, the Salt Lake City Arts Council has identified this site for a public artwork commission. The artwork will be designed along with the open space to ensure a cohesive, beautiful experience. In the spirit of what the site has represented in the past, the City aims to design a public space and commission a public artwork that reflects themes of social justice – signifying a welcoming, inclusive, and just city.  

A final preferred vision for the public space should be determined by late 2026. Design is anticipated to continue into 2027. Construction on the public open space and installation of the public artwork may begin in late 2027.

Project Location

The future open space will be on the southeast corner of the former Fleet Block site – the city block between 300 West and 400 West and 800 South and 900 South. An approximate address is 320 West 900 South.
