Warm Springs Park and North Gateway Park: Go Bond Project
— Quick Links —
Project Description
Warm Springs Park and North Gateway Park are two Salt Lake City neighborhood parks in Council District 3 of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Warm Springs Park and North Gateway Park was selected as one of the Reimagine Neighborhood Parks to receive funding from the Parks, Trails, & Open Space General Obligation Bond (GO Bond), approved by voters in November 2022. Neighborhood parks funded by the GO Bond aim to invest and activate underutilized parks to increase access to green spaces and quality parks.
The completed project will feature new and improved amenities that are prioritized by residents and celebrate the community this park serves.

Engagement Phase
Community Engagement
Why do community engagement?
In April 2015, a Park Master Plan was created for Warm Springs Park. Although public input was gathered for the master plan, we want to ensure that funded improvements in the near future are aligned with Indigenous and community feedback.
The project’s outcomes will be guided by the feedback collected through community engagement, project budget, and site limitations. The public input will be used to determine how to develop the vision for the park and what amenities to prioritize.
The Mayor’s Office is actively engaged in coordination discussions with local tribal partners, which is a key first step to ensure that cultural significance and indigenous history are incorporated, and broader design elements align with the values and expectations of these partners.

Community Engagement Report
In the fall to winter of 2023, Public Lands conducted community engagement to understand what desired improvements residents would like to see, how to reflect and honor Native Americans as well as Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders that once utilized the site.
Public Lands evaluated all the feedback collected through surveys, focus groups, interviews, and in-person events and created a report that summarizes the findings and the next steps for the project. The input collected will help to develop the concept designs for the parks. Stay tuned for more updates.
