They have a work out gym, two basketball courts, a walking path, classes to sign up for, and of course the pool. Recently we started taking our 3 year old to the pool to teach him how to swim and we found out they give swim lessons there for only $20 a week. This is a screaming deal. We did a weeks worth, and while he didn't "graduate" he made significant progress. I give 4 stars as opposed to 5 because in the past, I got a gym membership primarily for access to the basketball court. However unbeknownst to me at the time, there is a large portion of the year that the basketball courts are taken up by kids activities (soccer and basketball) during a lot of the times when a working adult can actually make it there. So I found myself hardly being able to use the basketball court.

My family and I absolutely love coming here for the indoor pools!…read more It's only $7 each for my husband and I's entry and $4 for my kids. Definitely an affordable and fun thing to do with your family. The bathrooms with showers have always been clean and, because we tend to go right when the pools open on Sundays, there's never any lines to use them. There's plenty of lockers for you to securely store any belongings, but my family usually just leaves our stuff out with our stroller, parked where we can see it at all times. The kids area of the pool is right at the entrance. It has a small running water slide for the younger kids, a whole play structure with slides for the bigger ones, and the water is much shallower, allowing for kids of all ages to have fun! My twins love sitting tummy-deep in the water and splashing away. There's also a small lazy river that's a lot of fun to go around! My son is about 4ft 7in and he can stand with his head above the water and freely float about the current. Next to the lazy river is a huge water slide for those who don't mind climbing stairs and being somewhat high up. My husband and friend have said it takes you down a lot faster than they expected. It was a ton of fun. There's a rope separating the area of the pool where the water sliders come out and the lazy river / kid area is, so my son was able to have fun watching his dad shoot right out the water slide. Next to the large water slide are the lap pool and diving boards. The lap pool has a few lanes and is perfect for getting in some aerobic exercise. There are two diving boards; one standard 3 or 4 ft and a bigger 10 ft board. We've only been here for the indoor pools, but we would absolutely come to utilize the many other functions of this center.

The pool area has a sort of water running path for people to walk against a strong current. There are 2 lap lanes. The locker rooms are clean. There's no shampoo/conditioner in the showers.

Our 3 hr unguided trip had to be changed to a 2 hr guided trip only when I called two days prior to check on the trail conditions. We otherwise would have shown up the morning of with that surprise. So you can imagine the pricing had to change too, which required a lot of discussions. They do not allow refunds (even when they can't deliver what you signed up and paid for)- only allow reschedules which doesn't work well if you are visiting. The trail was great, however, we were only on the snowmobiles for 1:30 hours, or two hours.

I've been wanting to come here for years, and I don't really think about this trail, until I pass…read moreit going somewhere else, as was the case tonight. I was on my way to the West Jordan Park to walk the dogs, but in a "blink of an eye" decision made a sharp turn, when I was right upon the parking lot. This parking lot is very small, and virtually impossible to cross the street when it's rush hour. I had no problem crossing tonight as it was dusk, and there was hardly any traffic. It's now 2019 and Midvale City hasn't taken the best care of this trail. Could it be budget constraints? We started out right at dusk with just enough light to head on down the trail. This is a scary trail on the East side of the river. There is absolutely NO light except for the Moon. This side of the river is all blacktop, and isn't fun to walk on for long stretches, after a few miles, your knees, and back start hurting. There were several runners that came upon us all of a sudden due to the overgrowth of the bushes and trees. You can't see or hear the river except at the beginning of the trail head. I didn't see anywhere to sit, and ponder, or enjoy the trail except for two small (seats 4) picnic tables and the beginning of the trail. I wouldn't sit here, they have been neglected, and overrun by weeds. At the beginning of the trail there is a doggy bag stand that also has been neglected. No doggy bags available. (I usually bring my own, but it's nice to have this available, just in case) I didn't see a way to walk to the river except crossing the bridges. The first bridge you come to has major repair needs. It reminds me of a patchwork quilt. There are planks coming loose, and some are sticking up. They have put down particle boards so you wouldn't fall through to the river. The second bridge was in better shape with no boards sticking up. As the sun kept going down, and down we continued on until it became so dark I couldn't really see except for the bikers that had a light on their bike. Not much traffic tonight on the trail. It was scary when all of a sudden someone was walking up behind you. Maybe, during the daylight, I will walk across the bridge, and check out the other side of the river trail. Until then, I'll stay on a trail that I feel safe on.

Ask nearly any local about the Jordan River, and you're probably not going to summon a lot of love…read more But every time I visit, I wonder why in the world that is. We have a really incredible resource running right down the center of the Salt Lake Valley, and serious time and effort has been put into making it accessible and fun for everyone. I'll save the rest of the love I have for the review of the whole parkway, which is found elsewhere on Yelp. What you should know, at the very least, is that it's continuous (mostly) trail that runs from Utah Lake to more or less the Great Salt Lake (via the Legacy Parkway Trail and the Denver & Rio Grande Western Rail Trail). All told, that system of trails is 76 miles long and is only a few patches shy of being completely paved (meh) but offering loads of recreation and open space. So, let's talk about this trailhead in Midvale. It's the one I've used most, and I really like the openness of it. The more popular area here is on the south side of 7800 South, just to the east of the river. The parking lot is only accessible from the eastbound lane, as the westbound median blocks would-be left hand turners. Once you arrive in the parking area, you've got an oddly shaped L lot, with several parking spaces including wheelchair accessible reserved spots. Technically, the Parkway proper doesn't connect to this parking lot, but rather the small section of trail from the parking lot to the large bridge is a "spur trail" and the trail proper follows the west bank of the river. Things get a little confusing, so have a map handy if you're out for a long hike. If you're heading south, go to that first bridge, and then continue on the east side of the river. Further south there's another bridge crossing and you'll take that to the right (west) if you want to stay on the official trail. Instead of crossing, however, you can continue on the east side of the river, follow the big bend, and eventually you'll pop out on 700 West in a semi-industrial area. This is always a nice out-and-back option that I often take. The river has some interesting pools and fishable sections down here, as well as lots of ducks. If you're parking here and headed north, you'll have to first go south to that first bridge, cross, and then head back north. You'll see the underpass, pass through, and you're off and running to the north, now on the western shore of the river. Back near the parking area, there are picnic tables aplenty. It would make a fine spot to eat a meal. There is also a Trailhead in Midvale at 7200 S, and lots more dining options there, but I prefer this trailhead, so you could drive down 700 W with your food, park, and enjoy food with a view. I used to come here in the wee hours of the morning for dog walks and didn't see too many people, especially in winter. As it's paved, it makes for a good run. On warmer nights it's full of people, families mostly, and is hugely popular with the bicycle crowd. One word of caution: I don't love the security situation here. It's a dark trail, but in the middle of the city. The parking lot is full of piles of broken glass that makes me think it's a popular place for smash n' grab punks. I've never personally had a problem, but I would not leave any valuables in my car here, and I would look for a walking partner in those early morning/evening hours. In the name of caution. The Jordan River has its problems, but we live so close to a really wonderful little piece of nature, and this access point has a lot to like.

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.
