Wasatch Hollow Preserve — Attraction in Salt Lake City

It's now beautiful greenspace in the city., but for many years this places' reputation was summed up in its slang name: "Dog Poop Park". But then the park was expanded to include the trails out to the north along Emigration Creek and a childrens play area added. Then the dog owners users of the space became probably the best group in town for picking up after their beloved pets.

Perhaps someday all of the land along the shores of the 7 Creeks of SL County would be reclaimed, donated, easements approved etc. and become greenspaces open to the public: City Creek, Red Butte Creek Emigration Creek, Parleys Creek, Millcreek, Big Cottonwood Creek, and Little Cottonwood Creek Imagine world class outdoor areas accessible to all each connected to the green spaces around the...

This is actually an extension of Wasatch Hollow Park. Emigration Creek flows through this area on the northeast border. As of April 2016, this area is mostly closed for construction. Lots of debris and trash that has accumulated in this area is being removed, along with invasive, non-native plants and trees. Numerous improvements, such as paved and gravel paths, erosion control, fences, and an elevated boardwalk are planned.
