The fantasy-themed park is officially closed, its founder and its landlord have confirmed.and owner of the 12.7-acre property on which the park sits, confirmed the news Monday to The Salt Lake Tribune.Those tenants include the park’s founder, Ken Bretschneider, who expressed “deep sadness and gratitude” for the park’s closure in a statement emailed Tuesday morning from Evermore’s management team and board of directors.
A peek through the small cracks between the entryway doors allow glimpses of the silent, empty park. The rustic doors are draped with greenery that was meant to add a charming, whimsical environment — but now just adds to the spookiness. “As an investor in Evermore Park, I did not want to see it fail and wanted to give it a new lease on life, both literally and figuratively,” Fugal said. “As the new landlord, restructured a new lease at that time with Evermore Park, LLC, and paid off the construction liens.” He added that he “personally settled millions of dollars that had accumulated.”
During the pandemic, Evermore Park took out two loans under the federally backed Payroll Protection Program , totaling just over $1 million — and both loans were forgiven, according toFugal said that, as an investor, he received a formal notice of the park’s closure, sent on March 28 by certified mail.
