Why is the Liberty Park pond almost empty?

For now, only a narrow, shallow stream runs through the Salt Lake City pond bed. So, why is the Liberty Park pond nearly empty?

Ducks and geese are shown in a shallow stream at the bottom of the Liberty Park pond on Monday, Nov. 21, 2022.If you’ve taken a walk in Salt Lake City’s Liberty Park recently, you may have noticed something out of the ordinary: The park’s pond is almost completely empty.

Workers started draining the body of water on Nov. 1, and it has been slowly draining for the past three weeks, Allen said. But the pond won’t be in this state for long. As for the animals that frequent the body of water, Allen said the Division of Wildlife Resources isn’t worried. Carp are “not a very beneficial fish,” DWR spokesperson Faith Heaton Jolley said, noting that they “cause a lot of damage to aquatic vegetation in fishery habitat and they decrease the water quality in waterbodies.”
