Herriman

Herriman City strongly supports outdoor recreation and has over 50 miles of outdoor trails, 48 residential parks, and a reservoir for swimming and fishing. In addition to supporting outdoor recreation, Herriman City also supports healthy eating through a community garden and a farmers market that accepts SNAP benefits. To promote mental wellness, the city offers suicide prevention trainings and provides gun locks free-of-charge to residents.

2024 Redesignation:

To be redesignated in Spring 2024, Herriman made sure its community programs are keeping up with its rapidly growing population. The city increased the amount of programming available for the aging population and is currently working to retrofit their old city hall building into a community center. Herriman City is also actively working to expand both its primitive and urban trail systems. The city recently completed a new active transportation corridor of 3.25 miles that connects Herriman to Riverton, and is working to build three new primitive trails that include a portion of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
