The Jordan River Regional Park Master Plan—renamed the Central Jordan River Reconnect—envisions the transformation of a 7-mile stretch of the Jordan River into a vibrant, multi-city park that spans five municipalities and connects three creeks.  The Vision Plan reimagines this stretch as a cohesive regional landscape and linear park, creating a framework for coordinated investment across municipal boundaries.

Developed through technical analysis, community engagement, and collaboration with regional partners, the plan builds on the corridor’s existing network of parks, trails, natural areas, and community destinations.

Key components of the planning framework include:

Seven-Mile Regional Framework: Establishes a coordinated vision across five municipalities, treating the corridor as one continuous regional landscape rather than a series of independent projects.

Seven Focus Areas: Organizes the corridor into four Anchor Parks and three Connecting Segments, translating corridor-wide goals into place-specific recommendations responsive to the varied conditions along the river.

Enabling Projects: Identifies smaller, targeted interventions that address existing constraints and can move forward independently while supporting the larger vision for access, recreation, habitat, and connectivity.

Implementation Strategy: Translates the vision into an actionable project matrix that identifies responsible partners, project readiness, and current stage, providing a shared tool for coordinating future investment across jurisdictions.

Rather than prescribing a fixed design, the Vision Plan provides a flexible roadmap for Salt Lake County, municipalities, and regional partners to advance improvements over time toward a more connected, healthy, and accessible Jordan River corridor.
