Salt Lake City’s Department of Public Lands is seeking input from Westside residents on the future of the Peace Labyrinth Open Space.

The area is located in the Glendale neighborhood along the Jordan River, between California Avenue and 1700 South. Currently, the park space features art, benches, and wide open spaces. City leaders want to “reimagine” the area using funds from the Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces General Obligation Bond (GO Bond) passed in November 2022.

In-Person Public Comment Events

An SLC Public Lands representative will be at these events to take comments about the Peace Labyrinth project.

Glendale Library - Bilingual Storytime April 19 | 10:30am - 11:30am

Peace Labyrinth - Earth Day April 20 | 10:00am - 1:00pm

The City is asking residents to take part in a survey to “understand the community’s desires and visions for the space.” There are three ways to give your feedback: find a Park Ranger in the area who can give you a survey, attend an in-person event on April 19 or 24 (see the sidebar for details), or submit your thoughts in a short online survey.

Using the comments, the city will create several design concepts that should be available for the public to review in Summer 2024. As they work on the designs, the city hopes they can redevelop the space to better reflect neighborhood needs and identities. Some of the possible plans may include new amenities, elements detailing the neighborhood’s identity or history, increased placemaking elements, and/or multilingual signage.

Additional information on the project, as well as the online survey, can be found at https://www.slc.gov/parks/projects/peace-labyrinth-go-bond-project/.
