Plans for Mountview Park

City plans tree-planting event, grand opening at Mountview Park

     After more than a year of planning and building, Mountview Park will make its official debut to the community in May. In honor of the newest park in Cottonwood Heights, the city has planned a community tree-planning event on Saturday, May 5 and a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, May 19, which marks the first day the park will be open to the public. Both events will begin at 9 a.m.

     Those who want to participate in the tree-planting are asked to bring a tree to donate and the tools needed to plant it. A landscape architect will be on hand to help participants choose the best places for the trees. The following species are acceptable:

• Any Maple
• Flowering Plum
• Flowering Pear
• London Plane Tree 
• Crabapples (Brandywine)
• Canada Chokecherry
• Locust
• Hawthorne
• Linden
• Fringetree/White Fringetree
• Chitalpa
• Yellowwood
• Corneliancherry Dogwood
• Turkish Filbert/Turkish Hazel
• European Beech
• Kentucky Coffeetree
• Yellow-poplar/Tulip-poplar
• Bur Oak/Mossycup Oak
• Japanese Lilac Tree
 

     Two weeks after the community tree-planting, the public is invited to attend the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony. Local elected officials from Cottonwood Heights and Canyons School District as well as representatives from Salt Lake County will participate in a short program, and a light breakfast will be provided to everyone. Afterward, the park is open to explore!
We invite you to bring your family and friends to these events and enjoy the city’s brand new park!
