PARKS, RECREATION, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE
The City of West Jordan has an abundance of natural and developed recreational amenities that play an important role in the quality of life for those who live and work in the City. Of the 967 acres of parks, open space and other facilities that serve the community, there are 247 acres of Regional Parks, Community Parks and Neighborhood Parks that are within the City’s control.
In addition to City owned parks, there are other recreational facilities such as the Mountain View Golf Course, River Oaks Golf Course, Gene Fullmer Recreation Center, and numerous privately owned and maintained parks and open spaces which also help to meet the recreational needs of the City.
This chapter of the General Plan contains the high-level vision, policies and goals that will lead the City in the development of its parks, recreation, trails and open spaces. The West Jordan Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Master Plan, which was adopted on November 4, 2019, is the detailed supporting document designed to implement, the long-term concepts, goals and objectives of the General Plan.
