Midvale City invites all residents to participate in the Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment Survey. Your input is essential as we strive to enhance our community’s recreational facilities, including our ongoing efforts to bring a new recreation center to Midvale. In November 2023, Midvale voters passed an $11.2 million bond that will significantly contribute to the construction of a new recreation center. Of the total bond, $10 million is designated for the new facility, while $1.2 million will fund dedicated biking and walking paths that will connect our community. However, the total cost of building the new recreation center is estimated at $45 million — a sum that Midvale cannot afford to cover on its own. HOW TO PARTICIPATE Midvale residents are encouraged to visit the Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment page to take the survey. It only takes 4 minutes to complete, and your feedback will play a crucial role in moving this project forward. Survey website: arcg.is/19my4K1 (See QR Code) Deadline to complete survey: December 20, 2024
3. Enhancing Community Facilities: A new recreation center could offer a community pool, expanded sports programs, and versatile spaces for all ages, contributing to the overall well-being of our residents. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE The Copperview Recreation Center has served Midvale for many years, but as the City grows, it’s clear that a new facility is needed to meet the diverse needs of our community. The bond and the upcoming ZAP grant application are essential steps in ensuring that Midvale has a modern recreation center that will serve residents for decades to come. Your participation in the survey is a simple yet impactful way to contribute to this effort. Midvale City is committed to working with the community and Salt Lake County to enhance our recreational offerings and ensure they meet the needs of all residents.
WHY YOUR PARTICIPATION MATTERS Salt Lake County Parks & Recreation is finalizing its ten-year Recreational Facilities Master Plan, which will guide development and improvements across the county through 2035. This plan, last updated in 2015, relies heavily on community input to ensure it meets the current and future needs of residents. To gather this input, Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation is conducting a Community Needs Assessment (survey) that will be open until December 20, 2024. By participating in this survey, Midvale residents can help ensure that our community’s needs are accurately represented in the master plan. This is especially important as Midvale plans to apply for a Salt Lake County Zoo, Arts, and Parks (ZAP) grant in 2025 to help fund the new recreation center. Demonstrating strong community support through the survey can strengthen our application and improve our chances of securing this vital funding.
