The Fairpark Community Council consists of our neighbors living within the Fairpark Community boundaries, and provides residents with valuable information as well as a voice in addressing City Planning and policy issues that affect this community.

Note: MEETING NORMS
In the interest of everyone’s time, our community council meetings must be conducted with respect.

The Fairpark Community Council recognizes and respects the relationships that exist between many Indigenous people and their traditional homelands. We acknowledge that our neighborhood is located at the base of the Wasatch Mountains in the Salt Lake Valley, on the sacred lands
of the Goshute, Navajo, Paiute, Shoshone and Ute people.
We honor the original ancestors of this land and offer respect to all that live with us in our community.
