Millcreek Community Center serves the community in many ways, as a library, a senior center, and a…read morerecreational center where you may walk the track, work out in the weight room or take yoga or aerobics classes. Did you know that the heating and air conditioning system is one of the most efficient systems in operation? It uses water pumped far underground in a sealed loop to reject heat in the summer and retrieve the heat for warmth in winter. There is also a very large solar array on the roof to help cut electrical costs. I'm proud to have been servicing the HVAC system there since the center opened its doors, I love keeping everyone comfortable and I love this center!

Not to be confused with the Millcreek Activity Center, which is much more South…read more There is a lot to like about this place. It's off (way off) the beaten path, so you have to go here on purpose, which limits traffic considerably. If you're trying to get back on the fitness bandwagon, this is a great place to start as you can either jump in on classes or put yourself through the drills (what I did) at your own pace. There is a modest locker room and a modest gym, which is good for the lower levels of stuff or if you just want to maintain. It also adjoins the East Millcreek Library and there are a few other things out on the complex, such a track and a basketball court and it's surrounded by some pretty cool woods. I really enjoyed the low key nature of it. On the bad side is what happens a lot with REC Centers and that is that they can become easily crowded (somewhat rare for me and I was able to work around it) as well as reaching a point where I was overpowering the equipment. That this is designed around more modest physical activities is both a blessing and a curse there and while it was great to get back into the swing of things (and maybe I'll wind up utilizing it again for that, once my son is old enough) without breaking the bank, it can only serve that purpose, which means time will be necessarily limited if you intend to move beyond. Staff also could get a bit surly about things, though I don't suppose that is really the fault of this place. It's a nice little place, all in all, but definitely mileage will vary.

Tucked right under the mountains it's a lovely area and right off the freeway! It's perfectly laid out and never feels cramped. We absolutely adored the yoga instructor gabby!! Megan was also an amazing reformer Pilates instructor. The facility is generally clean, almost never a broken machine. The clients are courteous and everyone picks up after themselves. I'd love if the women's sauna or hot tub worked but otherwise it was always a great experience. We always felt safe bringing our kids and they felt so loved we would move back to Holladay just for the gym!

Cardio machines (treadmills, bikes, rowing…read moremachines, ellipticals, etc.) and a walking/running track make up the upstairs part of the building--this is a great place for parents to watch their kids play basketball while they get in some exercise. On the lower level, there is a lap pool and a kids pool (complete with water slides and a lazy river), a weight room, basketball courts, and a high-fitness area (with TRX, punching bags, battle ropes, and the like). The basketball courts are fantastic and have a lot of hoops to practice on. While the weight room doesn't have as many machines as the cardio area upstairs, there are a decent amount of free weights and I rarely see machines broken; I've never seen a machine out of order for more than 24 hours, so the maintenance staff is really on top of things. In addition to these open areas, which are all included with paid admission (daily costs are $3 for children under 12 and $5 for adults), the Park Center offers a variety of fitness classes, including Zumba, water aerobics, spinning, HIIT, and more. I love this gym because of the assortment of activities, the friendly staff, the non-crowded atmosphere, and because you can purchase monthly memberships without worrying about contracts and fees like other gyms.

I honestly wasn't planning to do much at Murray City Park (I just stopped by to stretch my legs for…read morea bit) but it ended up being way nicer than you expect a quick stop to be. When you enter, you're greeted by a huge wooden Chief Wasatch sculpture at the entrance. It's kind of hard to miss and gives the whole place a bit of character before you even step onto the paths. From there, it opens up into this really clean, green space that just feels well cared for. And clean is the big thing here that matters. It feels like the park is well maintained. The grass is lush, the landscaping is especially pretty in the summer months, and there are tons of mature trees that give you shade without making the place feel closed in. It strikes a nice balance between open space and cozy, private areas. The walking paths are another highlight. They're easy, flat, and perfect if you're just trying to clear your head or, like me, take a quick break and stretch your legs. You've also got little views of water here and there that add to the calm vibe without turning it into a full-on destination park. What's kind of impressive is how much is packed into one place. There's an amphitheater, sports fields for pretty much everything, a pool, even an outdoor ice rink when it's in season. The park has playgrounds, picnic areas, and pavilions, too. The park is open year-round and is clearly a local favorite because it's always buy, but the crowds never felt overwhelming when I was there. There's enough space to spread out, which helps. Overall, this park is not trying to be anything flashy, just a really solid, well-kept community park. Easy to walk, nice to look at, and surprisingly relaxing for a quick stop. Definitely one of those spots you end up appreciating more than you expected.

My issues with this location are the cleanliness and that the equipment is always broken. There has been a blood streak across the wall in one of the changing rooms for weeks which would imply that they don't clean the changing rooms. The bathrooms could use more regular check up too and are often out of toilet paper. There are more broken stairmasters than working ones and they've been out of service for many months. Definitely a lot of room for improvement.

Well, this is a different place than it used to be. As a kid, I would go here with my dad. It was a…read moreschool then, and we'd sled down the hill. Some very fond memories of my dad getting the old inner tubes, blowing them up, and tubing down. He took my little brothers a couple times and I went as a pre-teen and the hill seemed much smaller then. As a teen, my first ever paying job was here. Again, it was still a school, and they had baseball diamonds where I was an umpire for tee-ball. Such memories. When they got rid of the school, I was curious to see what would happen. What sprung up in its place was a park that the next generation of kids will have to fill their memories. Instead of the school, and a winter-only sledding hill, this is a full-blown summer park. Apparently splash pads are a thing. Safer than a pool (at least for drowning) and still built to keep you cool in the heat of the summer, there's a big ol' splash pad here that's built for the little ones to stomp around and get wet. Bring the sunscreen. As others have mentioned, there's a lack of shade here, so you'll want to protect yourself from the sun. And it's probably best as a weekday reprieve. It swarms with kids on the weekends and you might get elbowed around. Beyond the splash pad, you've got some playgrounds that are geared towards different aged kids, some courts, and a whole lot of grass. This park covers the bases for lots of kids of different ages and will surely be one of the places to provide them with fond childhood memories.

Currently, the playgrounds are completely fenced off because no one took into account that the…read moreslides would get too hot in the sun.
