The Great Salt Lake is certainly unique and worth seeing, especially if it's your first visit. The…read morescenery is stark and memorable, but the park itself is fairly limited, making it more of a quick sightseeing stop than a destination where you'll spend the day. The day-use fee is $10 per vehicle, and really only gets you a view of the Lake and access to the visitor center. It's a bit smelly, and there are lots of gnats and big spiders (who eat the gnats) around the Lake viewing area. They also have a pontoon boat ride that leaves every hour on the hour, but I don't know the specifics as to what it costs and where it goes.

Do you enjoy an aggressively fetid stank, swarms of brine flies, underwhelming views, and--oh…read moreyes--countless giant spiders lurking in large omnipresent webs? Would you care to pay $10 to experience these wonders? Then come on down. Seriously, they should be paying the tourists to come here, not the other way around. I hear Bridger Bay on Antelope Island is the place to experience the lake, but I didn't have time for the extra drive.

Great Tooele park!

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.

It's in a beautiful location, higher up on the hill and provides you with some breathtaking views. We love how well kept the courts are and it doesn't seem to be as busy as some of the other ones in the valley (cough cough steer clear of the courts in Murray). Plenty of parking, plenty of open grass to run and play in, and it's right off Bangerter Highway--if you keep driving the windy road, you'll end up in Highland/Lehi area and that's beautiful too. I haven't seen any drinking fountains near the courts, but that's not to say they're not near the pavilions or park equipment--but I'd rather be safe than sorry and pack some extra water bottles. All in all, one of my new favorite areas. I can't wait to pack a picnic and return again soon! TIPS & TRICKS: * Lots of shade and benches, but you still don't want to forget sunscreen. * Because of the location, it's much more windy than normal, so be prepared to run a little harder!
