March 4th over the phone by calling (801)972‐7860March 10

“We have an average of 300 reservations made the first day, most for Washington Park which is located up Parleys Canyon within Mountain Dell Golf Course area,” says Rochelle, Parks Reservations Clerk, “If you want to reserve that park, come with a couple dates in mind.” Weekends for all parks also fill up fast. Due to high demand on the first day, only two reservations per person per day can be made.

Payment must be received at time of reservation. Park reservations fees for calendar year 2008 are $40 for Salt Lake City residents and $50 for nonresidents at all parks except Washington Park which is $75 for residents and $100 for non residents.

Equipment bags are also available for $5.34 rent per day. Pick up and pay for bags the day of your reservation. Salt Lake City Parks accept cash, check, and credit card.  Additional information is available at www.slcgov.com/parks.

Salt Lake City’s new Yard Waste Recycling program begins Monday, March 3, 2008. This

recycling program easily diverts resident’s grass clippings, trimmings, branches, bushes, and other yard

waste from the landfill into useable compost. Residents place all yard waste into the new tan 90 gallon

yard waste containers and roll it curbside to be emptied weekly on their regular scheduled garbage day.

Salt Lake City delivers the yard waste to the Salt Lake Composting Facility where it is turned into

compost and made available for purchase.

“We are happy to provide this environmental program,” Streets Manager, Parviz Rokhva says,

“Subscription has already surpassed our original expectations and we hope to see continued growth

with more residents taking advantage of this program.”
