The hiking trail arched footbridge is located in Memory Grove Park in Salt Lake City Creek Canyon. The stream that flows from the canyon is known as City Creek, and the bridge crosses it.
The area which now comprises Memory Grove Park was set aside as a city park in 1902. The park, however, remained unimproved until the 1920s when the women of the Salt Lake chapter of the Service Star Legion asked the city to designate the park as a memorial honoring America's soldiers and spearheaded the planting of trees and placement of monuments in the park.
The spring snow melt and runoff is just starting and the stream is almost to the maximum flow under the bridge. The bridge being on a hiking trail has no handrails so caution is advised when crossing.
