Draper is taking another big step to preserve what makes this area so special.

The city just added 255 acres of open space near the Deer Ridge area of SunCrest into permanent conservation. That means no development-ever.

What This Means for You

This move brings Draper’s total to over 5,000 acres of protected land and 117 miles of public trails. The newly preserved land surrounds the Deer Ridge Trailhead and is expected to include new trails for hiking, biking, and exploring. It’s a win for recreation, views, and the local environment.

Why It Matters

As Draper continues to grow, protecting open space helps maintain the clean air, natural beauty, and outdoor lifestyle that SunCrest is known for. It ensures that our trails stay open, our wildlife has a home, and our views remain unobstructed. This decision reflects Draper’s long-term commitment to land conservation, trail development, and sustainable growth.

We are not just real estate agents. We are part of the SunCrest community. Whether you already live here, are thinking about making a move, or just curious about the area, we are always happy to talk homes, community, views, trails, and everything in between.
