Salt Lake County seeks input on plans for three proposed dog parks amid ‘skyrocketing’ demand

Salt Lake County is accepting feedback on the site plans for three new, five-to-10 acre dog parks it hopes will fill a “skyrocketing” demand in the area.

Plans on the county’s website imagine the future dog parks at Wardle Fields Regional Park in Bluffdale, Lodestone Regional Park in Kearns and the future Magna Regional Park with dog wash and waste stations as well as features designed for pets, as well as improved amenities for humans like shade structures and drinking fountains.

“These are regional dog parks, so these are larger in size” than the city parks residents might be familiar with, said Martin Jensen, Salt Lake County’s Parks and Recreation director.
