Salt Lake City History - Liberty Park

Liberty Park, the single largest open park in Salt Lake City, has a long history. From it's early days helping citizens through famine, acquisition by the city for park space, national tragedy, threats of corporate takeover, and natural disasters, it stands today for the enjoyment of all residents.

Interesting that in 1889 attempts were made to privatize the park - somewhat similar to what Snowbird and Utah state gov't. have in mind for our Little Cottonwood Canyon.

Anyone know exactly where the playground fight scene from Revenge of the Ninja (1983) was filmed?
