Ida M. Cotten Park: GO Bond Project
— Quick Links —
Project Description
Ida M. Cotten 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 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 vision and desired usage of the park will be guided by the input we collect when we conduct community engagement. The completed project will feature new and improved amenities that are prioritized by residents and celebrate the community this park serves.

Community Engagement
What is the purpose of community engagement?
Community engagement will inform the design of the park and identify which amenities to prioritize. Additionally, engagement will inform the addition of unique elements of surrounding neighborhoods’ identities and histories, increasing elements of placemaking based on community input and desires, and adding multilingual identity and wayfinding signage.
How to Participate
SLC Public Lands will provide in-person and online opportunities for people to provide comments on the future of the park. Stay tuned for more updates and to learn how to get involved!
Project Updates
What does “Develop Scope of Work” entail?
