Managed by the local government, the park features an earth dam with a hydraulic height of 21 feet and a structural height of 25 feet. Completed in 1986, the dam has a storage capacity of 5 acre-feet and covers a drainage area of 16 square miles, providing essential flood protection to the surrounding community.
The dam at Salt Lake County-Rotary Glen Park has been deemed to have a high hazard potential, but is currently in fair condition according to the most recent inspection in September 2020. The park's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status, risk assessment, and management measures are not specified in the data, suggesting a need for further evaluation and potentially updated guidelines to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the flood control infrastructure. With its strategic location and vital role in mitigating flood risks, this park represents an important asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and support in the ongoing effort to protect communities from natural disasters.
