My husband and I came and walked here on a beautiful sunny day, and the views were totally gorgeous. The mountains looked amazing. 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. read more

We're visiting from Hawaii and came here to enjoy the weather. It's huge with lots of parking. There were ponds, pickleball courts, little walkways. 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! read more

Liberty Park is a staple in SLC, with plenty of sights to see from an aviary to boat riding, but my all time favorite thing to enjoy there is sunbathing on the hill. Some other parts of the park can be sketchy, but for the most part, it's very public and it's huge. I frequently come here by myself or with friends, and it's best enjoyed on a sunny day. read more

What a cool little park. It offers a running trail, a bike trail, and a walking trail. The trees and pond are a nice touch and there are trash cans available at every location not too far from each other so the park can stay clean. There are homeless people here. But they seem to keep to themselves and there's a good amount of pedestrians walking around to feel safe. read more

Salt Lake City's most popular park. Big park. East side of park has really amazing trees. Lots of foot traffic on certain days. I went during the week and it wasn't crowded. I went during summer. Lots of areas for shade. Tracy Aviary is on the southwest corner. Duck pond southeast corner. The signs are really bad and old. I vote for new signs and maps. There is a perimeter sidewalk to walk on all the way around the park in a circle. Canada Geese were in the park when I visited. Squirrels too. read more

Great outdoor park in the heart of Salt Lake City. Lots of jewelry vendors on the Sunday that we visited. Good for walking, with lots of mature trees! Watch out for the little kids trying to scam you for change of a $100 bill. Ha! read more

This is a delightful park that is a staple of Salt Lake City. There is plenty of parking on the outskirts of the park. There are running paths, rollerblading, paths, biking paths, and more. There's such a delightful pond that you can boat in during the summer. There are so many amusement park type thing with a carousel and Ferris wheel. They have a delightful playground, and they have even a small waterpark for a little kids. read more

Gorgeous sprawling park and a reprieve from the hustle and bustle in Salt Lake City. There are so many trails and walkways throughout the park you can take a different route each time you visit but the most popular seems to be the trail that encircles the entirety of the park. There are both a cement route on which people in line skate or there's also a wood chip path that's more comfortable for walking and jogging. Make sure you visit the cute gazebo near the lake to watch the ducks and geese! If you like birding, there is also a paid entry aviary that looks enticing. The calls from the different birds suggests a good variety of avian. If you're a history buff, there's also a museum in the park, located inside a historic building. Make sure the check the hours as it may be different from park hours. It's interesting to read about the history of the building as well as the park and surrounding area. There are also many artifacts on display and just the building itself is interesting to admire. Parking is ample. Note that it's one way and there are bumps on the pavement to signal to reduce driving speed as the entire driving loop is a parking lot with reduced speeds to ensure the safety of wildlife, humans, and their pets. A lot of people walk theirs dogs here and I've seen some off leash dogs run towards the parking area so be aware of tiny animals. Overall recommend! read more

A very nice park and with wonderful potential. That said, the current state is blehgh. Unfortunately, the vagrancy issue is cause for concern. This is not a campground. It should not be accepted to be a campground. It is a public space where people go to recreate, relax and rejoice in the presence of one of the best aviaries in the country. While we should absolutely treat the least among us with love while extending care and charitable discourse, their liberties to pursue a concerning life should not fully infringe on my wellbeing, or yours, without so much as a word being uttered. The rights of one do not supersede another's. I hope Salt Lake City can regain full control of its reputation as a cleaner city than some of its big city counterparts. Green spaces should neither become day time nor night time encampments. There are limits. Meanwhile, the bird feces on the pathways around the lake is also concerning considering the ongoing avian flu outbreak. Perhaps get crews out with a pressure washer and on a regular basis. read more

Very neat park. Our Uber driver referred to this park as Salt Lake City's "Central Park". It really is a huge and beautiful park. We went to the Atrium on sight. A bit pricey but definitely fun and informative. read more

Absolutely LOVE this park - it's one of my all-time favorites. Liberty Park is massive and so incredibly enjoyable. There's so much to it, there's something for everyone. Large grassy areas to relax, play, or picnic on, a playground, a large pond with swans... Absolutely lovely to walk around and take it all in. You'll also find Tracy Aviary here. Such a fun stop for all ages. Love getting to see all the birds, and you can also buy experiences to feed some of the birds. Lots of great restaurants and shops nearby as well. Great way to spend a morning or an afternoon! read more

my go to park for my runs and pacing. Its got a great flat course and loop that allows you to get miles in without having to climb hills/gain elevation. There is also a wood-chip trail thats easier on the knees. I love seeing all the dogs on my runs. I will say it feels a bit more eery at night time and i try to keep my runs until before sunset, as i do on any runs. its a great spot to loop and go down harvey milk to get coffee or up 9th & 9th towards the whale. So grateful to have this place! read more

There's nothing more romantic than a stroll through the park, smiling at others as you walk by and asking to pet every dog you see. At least that's how I enjoy spending any random Saturday morning. There's lots of open space with gloriously tall trees and a paved walking path that winds around the park. Young park goers will rejoice at the playgrounds with any amenity imaginable. The parking is a little tricky with limited entrances around the park-but that probably keeps traffic down and makes it safer for all the bikers and pedestrians. I love this park and if you find me here, I'll be happy to share the park vibe with you. read more

What a great place. Few playgrounds for kids and a lovely lake in the middle which was frozen when we visited during Christmas week. It was wonderful to watch the birds walk on the frozen lake and the kids had fun running around. Would love to come back to explore the full park :) read more

I love Liberty Park! One of if not the best all around parks in SLC. It has everything. A pond, multiple running tracks, an Aviary, lots of trees and shade. Love it!! read more

This park is huge and very well maintained. Tons of parking all around the park- we were able to find a spot very easily. There is a beautiful walkway with mature trees creating a canopy that was absolutely magical to walk through. For pedestrians, there is a separate path on the perimeter just for walkers and runners. My favorite part of this park was the giant hill overlooking the whole park and the little lake. The grass was just so lush and really comfortable to sit and lay in. When I was there, there was a drum circle going on with around 50 people participating. I also noticed that there were areas with water features that were not running when we were there (early October). There was also a section with a mini Ferris wheel that was closed down at the time of my visit. They also had basketball courts and tennis courts! Overall, this is a beautiful park with lots of amenities. I wouldn't hesitate to come here for some good Salt Lake City sunshine next time I'm in town! read more

Came here for the first time since I moved to salt lake 5 years ago. I've always been under the impression it was not a very nice park due to a high concentration of homeless. Turns out I was sort of right. There were a good amount of homeless people, however despite this the park was still quite busy with a lot going on. There is a pretty cool tennis training facility I didn't know about, and they have a merry go round, Ferris wheel, and other rides going on during summer. Then of course there is the Tracy aviary. read more

With this whole lockdown, I've been getting out in the great outdoors far more than I ever have in my entire life. While spending a little time at my condo in Utah, I decided to take a stroll around Liberty Park. It's not the most beautiful park, but it's free, spacious, and a nice place to enjoy some fresh air. I spent an hour walking around on the nice paved trail, enjoyed watching the ducks in the pond, and took my time observing all the cute dogs who were enjoying the green, open spaces. The pond is kind of gross and filled with lots of green moss, and you wouldn't want to sit around near the water line because there are pesky mosquitoes buzzing around (see, I told you I'm not outdoorsy at all), but there are plenty of little nooks and crannies where you can find a peaceful escape from the bustling world. There are tennis courts, volleyball, basketball, an aviary ($12 admission), and some pretty gardens on the property. Lots and lots of free, easy parking. This seems like a really nice place to run, if that's your thing. The park is free and open very late (11 pm), which is pretty cool. read more

I only had time to walk on a tiny south east corner of SLC 2nd largest park. The plant palette here perfectly compliments the well defined curves of the lake to make picturesque views. Majestic Pine Trees line the perimeter ring road and parking strip to create a perfect buffer between the hard urban edge and the soft naturalistic landscape. There is just so much more to appreciate that a brief visit could uncover. In comparison to Central Park in New York, this park has a denser and richer composition. The park was designed by Joseph Don Carlos Young, who was the son of Brigham Young, Utah's First Governor and Founder of Salt Lake City. The park is also on the National Register of Historic Places. read more

When visiting SLC, I was lucky enough to be staying in a place that was only a 10-minute walk away from Liberty Park. It was a great way to get in my morning exercise, and it was an easy walk, mostly on flat roads. The park itself is right off of Harvey Milk Blvd (Love it!) and it was filled with walkers, joggers, and people playing frisbee with their dogs, even as early as 7:30 A.M. The air was cool during September and I had to wear a jacket the whole time I was walking. The park is really big and it's in a great area, featuring mostly residential neighborhoods. My walk to the park allowed me to see how the locals lived and to get a feel for the architecture. The houses reminded me a great deal of the homes in New Orleans. They were eclectic and artsy with interesting, mostly muted colors. The park seems to be in a really safe area, too. Should I return to the area, I hope I'll get to go back to Liberty Park and take in the sights, sounds, and get my exercise there! read more

Lightwalk slc! I had such a good time at the lightwalk they did this December. I hope they had a good turn out and are able to do it again! This reminds me of New York in the sense of how New York has Central Park. To me, liberty park is the Central Park of Utah, if that makes sense! Tracy Aviary is here which is an amazing exhibit of birds of all kinds. There are peacocks, lots of wild animals in the bird world and it is just beautiful. That area alone has the biggest exhibit of exotic birds in the country I believe.. and there is a farmers markets that happens all summer usually at dusk. Now with winter and the lightwalk, it is the perfect atmosphere for being outside anytime of year. read more

This used to be the park to go to back in the day, before they put the road blocks up. The park is pretty large for a city park, with a large pond with tons of geese, and ducks that people like to feed. They have updated, and remodeled the tennis courts. They actually have people playing on them now. The swimming pool has also been maintained, and looks like people were having fun today. They are looking to hire, and train new life guards if any one is interested. They used to have a drum circle on Sundays, but I didn't see any evidence of it. What I saw instead were arts, and crafts booths. The parks has plenty of grassy areas to do yogs, volleyball, or family picnics. There are two play areas for smaller kids and one has a splash pad. If you walk, or run around the park it's a mile all the way around, very doable as there is a side walk, or running path for your convenience. Tracy Avery is in this park, and has a fee to get in, but we'll worth going in and looking at all the different birds. read more

In the last month I've been in this park more than I had been in the last few years, so it felt like time to make an update. Truth: parks are magic. Against the urban backdrop, they're vibrant, oxygen-filled oases where humans can meet face to face instead of via emoji or a right-swipe. They're real, and they connect us to each other. Liberty park is alive. I was here for a family picnic and it was a weekend afternoon. It was filled with people of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and affiliation. My nephew ended up playing soccer with a stranger and all the kids ran around without borders. We grabbed a picnic table and went all in on family potluck. I've been a few other times for the Friday night farmers market (listed separately here on Yelp) and I love love it. I'll expound on it more when I write that review, but it says a lot about me that I can hardly think of a better way to spend a Friday night than walking the small, approachable farmers market and collecting a few ingredients. Spoiler alert: when I do write that review, I'm gonna wax pretty poetic about that, and if you're the kind of person who likes gardening or cooking or farmers markets, you're gonna just GET IT. The park has seen some improvements over the last many years. Tracy Aviary seems to be nicer, the pond is nicer, and even though there are still plenty of displaced citizens in the park in need of stable housing, it's a much more chill vibe. The volleyball courts seem to always have someone there, the walking track is always full of walkers/runners/their dogs, and every so often you can still catch a drum circle. Furreal, those drum circles are more SLC than just about anything I can think of. I should spend more time here. I'm glad the last month has afforded me that, and it's made me realize I need to do it more often. Let's go picnic in the park together! read more

In June 2024, there were no barbecue grills anywhere in the park. The city website needs to be updated. We talked to parks and rec staff and they said all the grills were taken out because homeless or intoxicated people had broken them. The rest of the pavilion area looked nice for a picnic if you don't have to cook raw meat. :) read more

I've been to Liberty Park many times, but I'm ashamed to say I've never really explored it. I always head straight to Tracy Aviary, and yes, you should definitely go there, but this park is an attraction all it's own. It's beautiful, and lovingly cared for, full of giant grandfather trees that I just want to hug. There are pergolas covered in vining plants with benches tucked underneath. Huge and beautifully arranged planters full of flowers. A bridge that brings you to an island on which a huge gazebo presides. And that pond! It's almost a lake, and okay yes, there are geese and ducks and the little presents they leave, but that's really the only negative I can give, and it's worth it to watch our fine-feathered friends splashing about. Last week I stopped here for the farmers market, which occurs Fridays from 4-7 during the Summer and into early fall. It's small, but has the basics, plus Normal Ice Cream, which was the reason for my visit. They also host other events like a Monday night concert series, 5Ks and "Strut Your Mutt." There's plenty of parking, and it's just really such a large space! A while back I started saying "live your best life" ironically, but if we can ignore it's ubiquity and really think about it, isn't that an amazing way to aspire to exist? Now I pretend it's still a joke, but really I've been saying it in earnest. On my most recent visit to Liberty Park so many people were living their best life: walking their dogs, running, shopping the farmers market, playing frisbee, picnicking, catching up with friends, feeding waterfowl, etc etc. There is a real sense of community here, and it seemed like everywhere I looked I saw smiling faces. I couldn't help but feel joyful myself! Salt Lake City isn't huge by any means, but it's still awfully nice to be able to escape it, and enjoy nature in such close proximity to where we live and work. read more

Large park with plenty of parking. Along the parking spaces, there are trash bins roughly 50 feet apart. There are no excuses for littering. This park is kept clean and it shows.

The roommate and I were having lunch across the street. When I realized there was a park right here, I wanted to check it out. We stopped by on Thursday, December 8th around 2:30pm. Liberty Park is a decent size. I believe it's Salt Lake's second largest public park? We walked the length of the park, so from 1300 S to 900 S. I know there's a greenhouse, aviary, etc, but we didn't explore the park much. It was freezing. So much so, that part of the lake was frozen. We did see a number of playgrounds, a couple having a barbecue, people jogging, etc. It was nice just soaking in the atmosphere of the quiet park. I love walking around when on vacation. Glad I basically ran into Liberty Park and had time a little time to explore. read more

I heart Liberty Park! This park is the park to go to in Salt Lake City. It always has people from all walks of life that make it vibrant, spirited, cultured, and busy--there are always festivities every now and then. This park is the perfect place for plenty of things such as: dates, sports, picnics, jogs, roller blading, biking, talking, walking, etc. The playgrounds here are the most fun for kids because some even have water spraying abilities during the summertime! For older peeps, there are tennis courts, basketball courts, and sandy volleyball courts. This park also has a nice medium hill for rolling down right next to a pond with duckies to be fed. Oh, and the Tracy Aviary to go bird watching! Liberty Park is undoubtedly the park of Salt Lake City. Oh, and did I mention free wi-fi? Recommendation(s): If you have younger siblings, playing hide-and-go-seek is a blast in this park. Note(s): Go out for a morning jog and head to The Park Café for breakfast afterwards. read more

Great park and playground. Nice to have free parking somewhere central and it's free. Google maps makes it look like a loop road, like you could keep circling the road trying to get your baby to sleep, but that's not the case. It's blocked off in sections and you end up back on the road. Walking, running, scooters, cycling can keep looping around though. The playground is big. Loads of swings, which is what everyone wants at a park. It's in two sections, one for little kids and one for bigger kids. The little kid section has musical instruments which is cute and I've never seen before. It's a shame that the restrooms are closed during winter. We had to change our son on a picnic table and it was a little cold out yesterday. read more

I love spending time at this park. There is always something going on whether it's a drum circle, cosplay, 10k, doggy parade or farmers market. It feels clean.and safe; surrounded by quaint homes, a delicious cafe and busy streets. There's a duck pond, large playground and ample barbecue stations. Tracy Aviary is also located on site towards the southwest end. It's dog friendly sla your pup is leashed and the sidewalk loop keeps him from getting muddy paws if the grass is wet. But watch out for scooters, bikers, and rollerbladers. My only gripe is the one way parking. If you pass your area you have to drive all the way around again to get to it. read more
