Project Overview

Improvements to Dimple Dell Regional Park are underway to enhance patron experience, preserve the natural environment and increase safety within the park. Projects include:
 
Last updated 7/12/2021
 
Restrooms
  • New and/or renovated accessible restrooms at the following trailheads: Badger Cove, Dimple Dell Road, and Wrangler
  • Renovated restrooms for year-round use at Dimple Dell Road and Wrangler 
Trailheads
  • Accessible picnic area at Wrangler Trailhead
  • ADA stalls and accessible route to restrooms at Dimple Dell Road trailhead
  • Improved parking area at 300 East
  • New trailhead kiosks, wayfinding signage, and interpretive areas (benches and signs) 
Fire Prevention/Suppression and Erosion Mitigation
  • Water management infrastructure improvements including well and pump house repairs
  • Removing invasive species from the pond and restoring water levels for fire response
  • Adding two additional hydrants for repair fire access gates
Vegetation Management
  • Three test plot areas that have been negatively impacted by invasive species will inform the process for reestablishing native plants throughout the park.
    • Specialized equipment with rotary cutters will be used to safely mow grasses and invasive species—these machines do not till or dig
    • Test plots will be roped or fenced off to control the test site and allow for uninterrupted reestablishment of native seed mixes
    • Some areas (Larkspur and Flanders Point) within the test plots will have temporary irrigation installed
 
COMPLETED
  • Natural restoration and removal of the amphitheater near Dimple Dell Road
  • Wood chip maintenance on soft-surface trails
  • Parking lot resurfacing with gravel at Dimple Dell Road and Mount Jordan trailheads
Funding for these projects is made possible by Salt Lake County voters and the 2016 ZAP 3 Parks & Recreation Bond.
