Eagle Mountain City will recognize project phase completion in two of its parks on Tuesday, Oct. 12 at 1:30 p.m.
The dedication will highlight recent work that has been completed on Cory Wride Memorial Park. Eagle Mountain City began construction on Phase II projects for Cory Wride Memorial Park in November 2020.
“We’ve worked hard to invest in public spaces our residents can be proud of,” said Mayor Tom Westmoreland. “There is so much to appreciate about our parks, and we want to take time to recognize their progress.”

Eagle Mountain City will also celebrate the completion of Phase I of Silverlake Community Park. This beautiful park, themed around the stars, sun and moon, includes a climbing dome, landslide and swing. The layout of the park is patterned after sun rays and features walking trails and other amenities to keep residents safe and engaged.
“We’re pleased with the progress of Eagle Mountain’s parks,” said Brad Hickman, parks director. “It’s been great to see these amenities grow and change. Residents will find these public spaces attractive for years to come and we look forward to even more growth in our parks in the future.”
There are additional aesthetic features such as labyrinths with rocks charged by the sun and which glow during the evening and overnight hours. Eagle Mountain also modified the existing detention pond to fit a full-size recreation field.
Please join Eagle Mountain in recognition of the development of the community’s parks.
