Controlled reservoir releases will result in high water at Sugar House Park, and the area will close to vehicle traffic for about a week, officials said.
Sugar House Park experienced high water levels on April 15, 2023.Controlled reservoir releases will cause high water levels at Sugar House Park, so the area will close to vehicle traffic for about a week, officials said Friday.
The controlled releases are proactive measures in order to maintain runoff capacity ahead of “peak” runoff from Parley’s Creek. The released water feeds into the creek, then into the pond and detention basin at Sugar House Park — which frequently results in the park’s roadway being covered., something officials estimated will occur on-and-off as snowmelt continues. The county predicts the current closure to vehicles will last about one week, during which individuals may access the park by foot.
Other area parks that act as detention basins include Creekside Regional Park, Ben Franklin Park, and Wheeler Historic Farm. These basins are designed to temporarily hold water and help mitigate the impacts of spring runoff.
