MAYOR'S CORNER

D awn R. R amsey

This is the time of year many of us make goals to improve our health. I am grateful and proud that South Jordan offers so many opportunities to help each of us create a healthy lifestyle, and I encourage you to discover and participate in one or more of our community offerings, depending on your age and interests.

I highly recommend taking part in the fun and fabulous SoJo Race Series, where we recently added fitness and rucking challenges. South Jordan City hosts a race most months, and participants of all abilities are encouraged to participate. Walking, running, or wheeling to finish even one race can bring a sense of accomplishment and encourage healthy habits.

The City of South Jordan has nine miles of free, beautiful trails along the Jordan River and throughout the city. I love seeing people walking, running, cycling, and skating on them year round. The City Council and I are also looking forward to our new splash pad opening at Heritage Park this summer. Did you know in our city we currently have baseball and softball fields

250 acres of open space

I encourage you to get outside more this year and enjoy all South Jordan has to offer for improving our health and quality of life.
