This place has so much to offer! We didn't realize how much or we would have gotten here earlier!…read more I have been wanting to check this place out since shortly after we moved to Utah. It looks like such a beautiful place to walk around and it's free! From tree carvings, wildflowers and historic tours. We came for the wonderful Sunday Farmer's Market and there were so many amazing vendors with so many yummy samples! My favorite was the Mediterranean Hummus vendor. So many selections to choose from! Because of the hummus purchase we had to book it out and get it home and chilled! They had fresh meat, eggs, breads, jellies, salsas, and of course tons of produce from different Utah produce farms. It's very busy and you may have to park in the neighborhood surrounding the farm on Sundays. It's quite popular!!!! I loved the old historic buildings some dating back to the early 1900's. There's plenty of animals to check out from horses, to cows, pigs, sheep, goats, roosters, peacocks and a sheep. There's a small country store onsite as well. They have tractor and wagon rides. Some of the most beautiful wood flowers growing, a small creek runs through the property and there are several trails which I look forward to exploring on our next trip. I'm also excited to watch a lesson on cow milking! It's truly a beautiful spot to visit, and if you are interested I'd suggest bringing a blanket and some lunch and sitting under the shady trees and enjoying the magnificent things this working farm has to offer.

The farmer's market here is a great alternative to the one downtown although still much smaller…read more The farm itself is always a fun treat to see the animals including cows, bunnies, chickens, peacocks, sheep, and a donkey. I love taking our dogs to see the "exotic" animals. Behind the activity barn is garden entirely worked on by volunteers in the Master Gardener program. If you ever see them working be sure to share your thanks! There's also a long path that loops the property once you cross the bridge, it follows the stream and then hangs left.

This place can definitely have some characters but feels really safe during the day. I've never been to the pool or aviary but would love to come back to check them out. Super lively with lots of people. Gorgeous trees.

Lots of ducks were out with the little babies. Looks like there's a little fun area with rides for kids and food. It wasn't open for the season looks like. A little ways down was a big aviary with over 300 hundred birds, all kinds of species. Not sure what the admission price was since we didn't go in but we saw lots of families entering. We didn't get to explore the whole park, it was so big. It's a great place to picnic but watch for duck poop on the grass!

I had some time to kill and wandered the area with my dog in tow. I found the area to be…read moresurprisingly well maintained and enjoyed the little pocket of "nature" and stream within the city.

Failed policies, misguided bleeding hearts and restrictions or handcuffs placed on the Police and other agencies have led to it being overrun with homeless, strewn with trash and a public safety risk. One camp of multiple persons was physically right on top of Parleys Creek into which they were throwing trash, defecating, cooking and washing. Parleys Creek is supposed to be a PROTECTED WATERSHED in drought prone UTAH. Helping the homeless and being kind is very noble and charitable. It should not put the taxpaying public at risk. It should not prevent us from using our public spaces, it shouldn't put our children & seniors at risk and it shouldn't pollute & damage sacred public parks and spaces. Let the Police and govt agencies remove dangerous, violent (multiple offense) vagrants from our streets. Don't let camps start in off-limits locations. We can provide temporary housing without renting out hotels.

Aspen Meadows would be best described as a dog-walking park…read more While it has a gigantic space, there aren't the usual sporting accoutrements like tennis courts, basketball hoops, goals and such (although the room is plentiful enough for it!). There is, however, a perfectly placed playground for the kids, a few picnic tables including one under a gazebo. This playground includes the usuals and some unusuals, including a cool mini rock-climbing wall. The is a little bit of road noise, but luckily 9800 isn't used much up this way! Placed on a steepish hill, with a walkway around it, the grandiose space is perfect for walking your dog...or walking yourself. ;) There is even a poop-bag station. There is also a cool walk path connecting directly from the nearby neighborhood. Definitely a cool park for the whole family!

Hands down one of the best Gardens/Arboretums I've been to. I am so happy I decided to come here on…read moremy last day in Utah. For some context, I had an 11:50pm flight, but I needed to check out of my condo by 10am. What was I going to do for the entire day? I didn't want to get too sweaty but still wanted to take advantange of the weather and be outside! Red Butte Garden turned out to be the best decision. I arrived early, and took my time strolling through the gardens. I brought my book with me and took advantage of the various seating areas throughout the gardens. It was perfect to sit in the shady (and some sunny) spots. It was quiet and relaxing with a few people here and there. The gardens are so beautifully curated, but at the same time offer opportunities for more rugged/wild expereinces in the natural areas of the park. It has been one of the few arboretums that felt so welcoming, and it truly encouraged you to spend some serious time among the flowers and trees. I also noticed that there were so many people activevly working in the gardens - something I have rarely seen at other similar places (maybe because I was visiting during work hours on a weekday?) The amphiteather on site is host of a variety of concerts - this particular summer concert series looked amazing. Wish I had more time to spend out there. I highly recommend checking out Red Butte Gardents and Arboretum!!

South Jordan is blessed to have many parks available for families to enjoy. In a quick search,…read morethere's over 35 parks for a population of about 80,000 residents. This new Regional Park held a "grand opening" in June 2023, unveiling a huge grassy field, multiple jungle gyms, a basketball court, a Pavillion you may rent, and a restroom facility. Nestled in a residential area, there's sweeping views of mountains all around. Don't even worry about parking....there's LOTS of parking, at least three different lots all around this majestic park. I didn't see any EV chargers though. Maybe those will arrive in future phases? I mean, there's LOTS of space for solar panels and it is blazing with sun.... According to their website, Phase 1 was a $18 million investment from a handful of different organizations. Now, 160 acres is a lot of grass and plants...where is the water coming from to maintain this greenery?

Fantastic park. I love coming here to relax. Wish they left the dirt trails open during the winter,…read morebut whatever.

Man, Cottonwood Heights has some nice parks!…read more Let's talk open space: I can't give even close to accurate coordinates, but you could play professional football (or for that matter, futbol), rugby, baseball, and probably the Highland Games on this field..at the same time. This beautiful field is hidden: Past the parking lot, past the tennis court, and past the playground you'll find this big green expanse. If you like views, the park seem snug against the beautiful foothills of the area. All the facilities are great. There's plenty of parking, the tennis court and playground are in excellent condition, and there's a well maintained covered area with picnic tables. I've been to two Cottonwood Heights parks today and, at both, have seen Parks Department folks keeping the place tip-top. Bring on the summer fun!

I'm back to the annual update tradition that started nearly a decade ago, and the reason is that…read moreafter a year hiatus (thanks, COVID), Midvale's Harvest Days is back. So I spent some time here last weekend. But even moreso, I have spent far far far more time in the park over the last 4 months than I ever did before, due to the addition of a disc golf course. Now, back in the day (waaaaay back) I was pretty into the sport and have played on about 100 courses all over this fine country. But the sport blew up and is having a moment right now, so much so that courses are popping up all over the place and this fun little pitch-n-putt par 3 seemed to show up out of nowhere. It's great--everything is under 400 feet, and it's brought a lot of people out to the park that might not ever have made it over--truly making this a park for the people. Besides that, they've made some big improvements. There's now a massive pavilion over by the senior center, which is no longer the senior center, but rather a lovely little museum. It's a drought year so I take it easy on them for the condition of the grass which is, you know, not precisely lush right now. But it's beautiful to see them taking water conservation seriously. I'll be over there plenty often now, getting in a quick 9 holes in under an hour, but I'll also be back for Harvest Days next year. Until then!

Something for the whole family. Parking lot is on the small size for a park, and the Boys and Girls Club is near by, I believe they share the parking space. The cemetery is on the North/West side of the park..
