SALT LAKE CITY — Construction at Pioneer Park is nearing completion, with new recreation spaces and a ranger office expected to welcome visitors next month.
Work began in March and is now about 80% to 90% complete, according to Nancy Monteith, a senior landscape architect with Salt Lake City Public Lands. Crews are laying sod, planting garden beds and checking the work before the fenced-off areas reopen.
The upgrades include six pickleball courts, a basketball court, a new playground and an improved off-leash dog area. A covered pavilion and space for eight food trucks will help accommodate events of different sizes.
“We’re trying to make it as easy as possible for anyone to come and use the park,” Monteith said…
