One thing many people may not know is that Daybreak retains all of it’s storm water onsite. What that means is that the storm water doesn’t get piped out to the Jordan River or another collection point, but rather there are multiple basins around the community that safely capture the water and allow it to percolate back into the soil to recharge the aquifer below the surface. Due to it’s location at the bottom of the large slope, there are basins built into the park that will contain wetland plantings (like basins in Founders Park and around the lake).
Paths, bikes & lake access
Go farther without getting in the car. Lake Avenue links to Daybreak’s network of sidewalks, paseos, and lake‑loop paths. As a result, you can walk or ride to Oquirrh Lake, pop over to a pocket park, or continue toward Downtown Daybreak (SoDa Row) for a treat.
