The City of St. George is inviting the public to join in the grand reopening of Christensen Park on Wednesday, July 17 at 9 AM. Located at 3764 S 1470 W, the park now features a brand-new, modernized playground—one of many projects funded through the city’s Trails, Parks and Recreation General Obligation (G.O.) Bond.
To sweeten the celebration, free donuts will be provided while supplies last.
Approved by 63% of voters in 2023, the G.O. Bond has already funded a variety of high-impact upgrades across the city. Christensen Park is the latest site to showcase the city’s commitment to building safe, inclusive, and accessible recreation spaces for the entire community.“We’re investing in safe, inclusive and modern recreational spaces that serve St. George residents of all ages,” said Shane Moore, Director of Parks and Community Services. “Christensen Park’s new playground is a shining example of what we can achieve together, so it is important to take the time to celebrate this.
A Growing List of Community Enhancements
The G.O. Bond has supported a number of completed projects already, including:
- Black Hills Trail
- Tonaquint Cemetery expansion
