Today, in a bold step toward revitalizing one of Downtown’s most iconic public spaces, the SLC Downtown Alliance and Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall announced a signed agreement to explore the creation of a public-private partnership for managing Pioneer Park. The Alliance envisions staffed amenities, daily programming and a multi-purpose public building for community events. The Alliance’s uniformed Downtown Ambassadors would provide a visible, hospitable, daily presence in the park. “Our success programming in Pioneer Park is a model for creating a vibrant park every day of the week.,” said Dee Brewer, executive director of the Downtown Alliance. “Pioneer Park has endured a bad reputation for decades. We know we can change the chemistry of the park. We have done it every summer Saturday for 34 years with the Downtown Farmers Market. Pioneer Park is safe, active, and communal on market days. We are ready to build on that success to vitalize the park and the neighborhood.” MORE INFORMATION: https://www.slcfarmersmarket.org/market-building (fb)
