Summary

As residents of Salt Lake County, you may have wondered about your parks for years — that is, until City Cast Salt Lake host Ali Vallarta cataloged them all. Over the course of two years, she visited all 511 parks in the county, seeking to record their amenities (e.g., bathrooms, playgrounds), write helpful summaries, and track down the people in charge. The resulting map is a valuable tool, as you now not only know who to call when trash cans are overflowing: you can also find outdoor spaces that meet your needs. But what else can we do with the map? Ali breaks it down for City Cast CEO David Plotz, on this episode of “Your City Could Be Better”.
