SALT LAKE CITY — A west-side park that once closed over increasing crime and homelessness is getting yet another makeover. But that means it will be closed again for the remainder of this year and the start of next year. Salt Lake City plans to close Madsen Park, 9 N. Chicago Street, on Monday, to begin several amenity upgrades for one of the few park spaces near the growing North Temple Corridor.
