Millcreek City, Utah to incorporate public climbing wall into its City Hall

Millcreek was an unincorporated part of Salt Lake County.  Fearing annexation from Salt Lake City, it incorporated part of the township into a city.  Comprised of residential areas and car centric commercial areas, it is in the process of creating a "center" along 3300 South, building a new city hall and related facilities.

Millcreek was awarded a $200,000 grant to build an 81-foot tall climbing wall on the northeast corner of City Hall. The tallest outdoor climbing wall in the state, it will be operated by a private contractor.

They just announced that their under construction City Hall will incorporate a public climbing wall (Millcreek City newsletter).  

Given my support for co-location of public facilities ("Prototyping and municipal capital improvement programs," 2008; "Five examples of the failure to do parks and public space master planning in DC," 2021; "Update: Neighborhood libraries as nodes in a neighborhood and city-wide network of cultural assets," 2019), I think this is really interesting.

I like the way that the concept of a network of civic or public assets was illustrated by parks planner David Barth.
