9line Community Orchard Dedication

On Tuesday, April 30th, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, Parkview Elementary students, TreeUtah, and Salt Lake City Public Lands gathered at the new 9Line Community Orchard site to plant new fruit trees.

This once-vacant .7-acre plot is part of the Mayor’s plan to create community spaces in underutilized city land. The growing 9line Community Orchard will produce fruit and shade in years to come while encouraging community gatherings, stewardship, and educational opportunities. 

The 9Line Community Orchard is adjacent to wetlands and the 9Line Bike Park, creating an expanded, walkable corridor and further connecting our city’s green spaces. We encourage you to get out and experience these improved open spaces within our city!
