SEGMENT 7

Water-based Recreation + River Edge Renewal

Segment 7 lies within the jurisdictions of West Valley to the west and South Salt Lake to the east. The southern edge is bounded by 2900 S and the northern edge by the 2100 S Freeway. Existing conditions vary in both typology and scale where the eastern edge of the site is heavily developed with large industrial warehouses. In the northwest part of the segment is Redwood Trailhead Park and boat launch, a smaller recreational anchor that is adjacent to the existing JRP Trail. Additional trails follow the eastern edge of the river as well, although access becomes limited due to constrained site conditions.

Segment 7 marks the northern end of the project area, where the river runs alongside industrial properties, existing park space, and a narrow stretch of the Parkway Trail.

This area is shaped by limited river access, constrained trail conditions, and the transition from more open landscapes to a more channelized urban edge.

Primary opportunities

With minimal area on either side of the river, this segment is characterized by its narrow edges, thus allowing opportunities for continued riparian enhancement and habitat restoration where possible.

With the linear nature of this site, opportunities for trail enhancements and additional water recreation programming around Redwood Trail Park would strategically activate the site. Developing a connection from the existing Mill Creek Connection would continue to being visitors into the great recreational loop that extends across all seven segments. Additionally, nearby redevelopment opportunities and potential neighborhood connectivity from the east and west would also create a north anchor along the Jordan River and act as a gateway to the rest of the larger proposed trail system.
