The area was clean and offered plenty of parking spots. The food trucks were a plus, good place to catch some dinner and let the little one run and play.

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.

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.

If you're looking for a peaceful, magical, and completely free holiday experience in Utah, the Tree…read moreof Life in Draper City Park is an absolute must-see. This breathtaking willow tree is wrapped in over 1,000 strands of warm white LED lights, creating one of the most beautiful Christmas displays in the entire Salt Lake Valley. The moment you arrive, you're surrounded by a soft golden glow that instantly puts you in the holiday spirit. What makes the Tree of Life so special is its simplicity -- it's not a massive park full of displays or a loud commercial event. It's just one stunning tree, lit to perfection, that transforms the quiet park into a serene winter wonderland. Families stroll beneath the branches, couples take romantic photos, and visitors of all ages gather to enjoy the calm, cozy ambiance. The nearby illuminated bridge adds another dreamy touch and makes the whole scene even more picturesque. This spot has quickly become a beloved holiday tradition for many, and after visiting, it's easy to see why. It's peaceful, beautiful, easy to access, and perfect for a short outing that leaves you feeling refreshed and festive. I highly recommend adding the Tree of Life to your holiday bucket list! https://linktr.ee/reessroots

How long have I lived here and never visited the well-loved tree of life? Well, forever, really and…read morethat's a miss on my part. I've heard lots of people talk about this park, especially in the winter when it's all lit up with Christmas lights, and it wasn't until this year that I finally made it out there. The playground looked fun-although I didn't go try it myself. I figured that the parents of the kids playing might not appreciate some rando adult joining in with everyone. But if you have youngsters, or are one yourself, you'll find merriment and joy here. The trees were all lit up beautifully and the star of the show, of course, was mesmerizing. It might not be a multi-hour tour, but it's worth a visit. And it's free, so there's that!

Massive fields. Just, so much grass to run and frolic. It's well use (lots of team sports from…read moreSandy Parks & Rec play here) but in the off time, you can run and run and not leave the grass. I grew up just up the road, so I found my teenage self here plenty of times. Meeting up with the ladies. You know how I be. These days it's more of an attraction for the tennis courts or pavilion. But either way, it's a big park with lots to do. If you like to run, but don't want to map a route around the neighborhood, they do have a nice, paved jogging path around the whole park. You'll probably have to fight with the stroller moms a bit (this is suburbia, after all) but it's a nice alternative to wandering around the 'hoods or bustling on busy roads. A small playground sits near the pavilion and parking area. It's a little tricky to get there. I just used to climb down the hill from Sterling Drive, but that's probably not going to work via the family sedan. From Sterling Drive (accessed quickly from 9400 S.) you can turn east on Plata Way and get to the parking lot by turning left at the park.

I rated it 4 stars because it only consists of the playground, field, and pavilion, but everything is good quality and taken care of. Though it isn't very big, it's a perfectly good park to take kids to, have a picnic at, or play field games at. The Cedar Hills Parkway trail runs right along the edge of the field. It's a quick 5 minute walk either direction along the trail to either Heritage Park or Harvey Park. Ultimately, there's nothing extraordinarily special about Sunset Park, but it is a nice park that's well-maintained, spacious, and good quality.
