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. Where did the architects that work for for Cottonwood Heights get their degrees? Unbelievable. Hopefully the city has the cash to pony-up for some shade structures stat. Epic fail.

What a funny juxtaposition of old and new…read more THE OLD I love old trees, and there are plenty here. Big mature trees that reach to the sky, and they survived the recent windstorm that ripped through trees in other parks, mostly to the north. Old location, here in the heart of old Sandy. Old Sandy is charming sandy, and not the strip-mall-and-suburb Sandy we all think of today. Old Sandy and its old Main Street. Old Sandy and the charming shops. It still has a long way to go until it's at full restoration, but Old Sandy is lovely. That fireplace/indoor massive charcoal grill thing is a remnant of a bygone era. I love it, it's unique, it's funky, and I'd love to do a big get together here with tons of charcoal and loads of grillables on those long grills. You remember get togethers, right? Pre-pandemic fun, oh boy. THE NEW I think the playground is pretty new. It looks impressive, and it's certainly not the old rickety things I grew up with. I don't know how the pavilion can be both old and new but it has the stone/brick fireplace but also newer picnic tables and what looks like a new paint job. It was nice, and had a little sparkle to it. I'm a fan of these smaller size parks. I like this one. I like the simplicity. I don't love the jail looking doors to the restroom that you can just look right into, but you can't have it all. And the fact that many small parks don't have restrooms at all makes these restrooms at this somewhat small park seem like a bonus, anyways. A charming mix of old and new.

The thing that stands out to me about Main Street Park is the covered area.

It really makes for a great gathering place. There's a nice nice open space (around 100 square yards), a high-quality playground, benches, a handful of outer picnic table and (in another rarity) a very clean restroom. Another differentiator are the gigantic old-growth trees. You can tell the Sandy City Parks Department took great care in molding the park around the pre-existing tree life. A great park...see you there!
