Sugar House Park closed to cars after pond overflows, but officials say it's doing what it's intended to do
Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation and Salt Lake City Public Utilities issued the closure around 7:30 p.m. Earlier in the day, they shared photos showing the pond's water level breaching the edge of the pond."Sugar House Park is working as intended for flood control... the water levels are growing: that’s on purpose because the park acts as a retention basin to protect people and property," the parks department wrote in a tweet.
Officials also warned the public to avoid the water at the park and other areas that are experiencing high water levels due to spring runoff. Meanwhile, volunteers and workers have been continuing to fill up sandbags to help protect public and private property. Many flocked to Sugar House Park Saturday morning and afternoon to volunteer.Sugarhouse Park could use more awesome Salt Lakers to help fill sandbags today 4/15 until 5:00.— @bereadyslc April 15, 2023 Also, in Gunnison, the Utah Department of Corrections organized a volunteer effort by Central Utah Correctional Facility inmates to help fill sandbags.
