This new 5.5-acre park will be located in the Spring Creek neighborhood. An open house to review the concept plan for this park was recently held. It is part of the 2013 Provo Parks and Recreation Master Plan and will be providing needed and much-anticipated park amenities to this area. Community Development Block Grants and Park Impact Fees are the funding sources for this project. Construction is planned to commence in 2017.

Slate Canyon Park

Upper Site A: Construction of the downhill mountain bike course has begun in Upper Site A.  Prior to construction, the plans for the alignment were presented to the planning commission to obtain a variance. The variance was granted.  A geotechnical analysis was conducted to determine the parameters needed to ensure that the slope of the site remains stable. It is intended that the downhill course will be ready for use this upcoming spring.

The course is intended for beginner to intermediate level riders and was professionally designed by Sagebrush Trails & Services, a local bike trail consultant.  Several local mountain bike enthusiasts have walked the proposed course and have offered feedback as well.  Some of the funds for the course were generated through volunteer service by the local neighbors through a Neighborhood Grant awarded by the Provo Municipal Council. 

Lower Site A: This area is planned to have a parking lot, pavilions, restroom, playground, amphitheater and several picnic sites all connected by a variety of walking and biking trails. The current concept is under renovation to work around some utilities in the area.

Site B: This area has been developed into an 18-basket disc golf course and is open for play.

Site C: This area is planned to be a traditional style neighborhood park similar to Lower Site A. It is planned to have a parking lot, two small pavilions, restrooms, playground and several picnic sites connected by walking trails and beautiful landscaping.

Site D: The Parks and Recreation Department staff is currently working closely with the Public Works Department to revise the concept plan for Site D, which will include two new large public water storage tanks. The tanks have been designed to accommodate new tennis courts on top and other recreation opportunities that will be integrated into the site as well. Construction of the first water tank is nearing completion.
