Pretty in the city |
1300 East 2100 South Salt Lake City, UT 84105 United States +1 801 483 5473 |
One of the city's largest parks, this spacious retreat is also among the prettiest parks to see, in any season. Several large pavilions are available for booking, but call early since they tend to go fast. There is a creek running through the park, which feeds into a duck pond on the west end. Stop by for a jog around the paved roads, or walk around the trail that lines the park's outer edge. Or, simply lie in the grass and watch the many squirrels. Review © 2007, Wcities |
