Zoo, Arts & Parks (ZAP)

Welcome to Salt Lake County's Zoo, Arts & Parks (ZAP) program! 
  
ZAP is a publicly funded program that annually supports over 230 arts and cultural nonprofit organizations through grants. These grantees serve over 8 million visitors a year with nearly half attending free of charge. This funding goes to support programming including cultural events, educational programs, performances, festivals, museums, botanical gardens, and more. This is all to achieve the mission of the ZAP program to enhance Salt Lake County resident and visitor experiences through art, cultural, historical, and recreational offerings.  
  
ZAP funds also support Salt Lake County Parks & Recreation operations, including 21 recreation centers, 42 parks, and thousands of acres of open space. These funds help provide opportunities for recreation and outdoor activities throughout the county, ensuring accessible and well-maintained public spaces for residents and visitors alike.
