Heritage Park Update

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  March 7, 2018.  Heritage Park in Garden City has been mapped and the plan in place, Riley Argyle, Garden City Public Works, told City Council members.  They will get the power in as soon as possible.  The City was able to grant for $250,000 to cover the cost of power.

The children’s playground at Heritage Park has been moved to the center of the park, and where the children’s area was before will be turned into additional parking.  It will be easier to keep eyes on children from the pavilions that will surround the center of the park.

Argyle asked the Town Council Members if it would be possible to have the state asphalt the parking area at Heritage Park at the same time they asphalt Third West.  The Council Member noted that was a good suggestion and will investigate this possibility.

The plans show the location of the bathrooms at Heritage Park.  However, they may have to be moved because of the amount of water that comes through that area.  Also, the sewer lines need to be given a second look to make sure they are in the best area possible.

Currently, there are a lot of trees that have been put on the plans for Heritage Park.  The City may reduce the number of trees that are currently on the plans.

The parking lot at Heritage Park has 165 parking stalls.  There will need to be more parking when Raspberry Days is held there.  It was noted that people will be able to park along Third West as well as use the field north of Heritage Park that is owned by the City.
