About District 5

District 5 extends from Interstate 15 to 1300 East, with some exceptions, and from 2100 South to 800 South. It’s home to turn-of-the-century neighborhoods and a community feel, with tree-lined streets, community ballparks, and dog parks. Liberty Park, a recreational jewel of the City, provides myriad opportunities for outdoor play and relaxation. At 80 acres, it’s a gathering place for thousands of families year-round.

District 5 is also home to the 9th & 9th business district, which is as eclectic as it is walkable. Featuring local businesses, restaurants, boutiques, and summer street fairs, it’s a daily stop for many District Five residents and a big draw for non-residents as well.
