“This initiative highlights our dedication to offering accessible, inclusive, and engaging recreational opportunities for school-age youth throughout the county,” said Doranne Pittz, Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation associate director. “Starting on June 1, our goal is to expand our reach and impact, making sure every young person can enjoy the benefits of recreation and community engagement.”
