SALT LAKE CITY â It took six years of planning and hard work, but now Salt Lake City leaders are celebrating the opening of a new park in the Glendale neighborhood.
Three Creeks Confluence Park sits in an area that was once covered in concrete, old cars and trash near 1300 South and 900 West.
The idea originally came from college students looking to create a green space to connect people with nature, an idea that local leaders were on board with.
âThe primary purpose of the park is uncovering the three streams we see behind us, Parleys, Emigration and Red Butte Creek, and the location where they enter the Jordan river,â said Tyler Murdock, project manager for Salt Lake City Public Lands Development.
