Funding for the RAP – Recreation Grant is provided by a special sales tax initiative approved by the Utah State Legislature. This allows 0.1% of sales tax within the County to be spent on arts and recreation opportunities within the County. The term “recreational facility” is defined in Utah Code § 59-12-702 (8) to mean “a publicly owned or operated park, campground, marina, dock, golf course, playground, athletic field, gymnasium, swimming pool, trail system, or other facility used for recreational purposes.” The grant fund application specifies that “[o]nly publicly owned or operated parks, campgrounds, marinas, docks, golf courses, playgrounds, athletic fields, gymnasiums, swimming pools, trail systems or other facilities used for recreational purposes qualify for funding with RAP/Recreation taxes.”
The online application will be available September 1, closing September 30th, 2025, at 5:00 PM
