Once a popular spot to feed ducks, Fairmont Park has added a free community fishing pond stocked with trout. Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski joined a group of elementary students on Wednesday to reopen the pond.

In addition to fish, the pond includes an elevated boardwalk and benches. It has new boulders to prevent erosion, along with added trees and shrubs. The park, 1030 E. Sugarmont Drive, is going through a major makeover and will include an off-leash dog area, pickleball courts and expanded lighting.
