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.

We're visiting from Hawaii and came here to enjoy the weather. It's huge with lots of parking…read more 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!

I absolutely love finding roadside gems like Gilgal Sculpture Garden! They really allow you to…read moreexperience the local flavor of community, and goodness... does this garden deliver! The garden was the passion project of Thomas Child, an LDS bishop and Salt Lake City businessman. Located in what used to be his backyard, he started the garden when he was 57 years old and worked on it until his death nearly 20 years later! A neighbor then bought the property and made it available for public visitation, and it was ultimately handed over to the city for longterm maintenance and preservation. I don't mean to be insensitive at all, but the garden is one of the most fabulously weird places I've ever visited. The park contains 12 original sculptures that depict various scenes from the Book or Mormon. My favorites include a sphinx with the face of Joseph Smith, and the sacrificial altar dedicated to Childs' wife. "Gilgal" refers a city and valley in LDS literature, and the name means circle of standing stones. If you're in Salt Lake City, this garden is definitely worth a visit. Admission is free, and the park is open from 8AM to 8PM. It's located in a residential neighborhood, so please be respectful of the neighbors. Add this to your list of favorite roadside bits of unique Americana.

We came here today and spent all of 10 minutes looking around. It was not at all what we expected…read more This garden is located in between two homes on what appears to have been a vacant lot so it is quite small. It is also incredibly religious in nature, with many biblical quotes carved into stones and art that reflects or is inspired by scripture. It's a little bizarre to be honest and has a creepy, cultish feel. SLC has lots of other great art and gardens where your time could be spent.

So much to look at and explore--just beautiful--but I especially loved the roaring creek and stone bridge, the various trees and flowers, memorials and walking paths. Would love to come back with my dog and explore!

A stream cuts through the park, creating a relaxing and peaceful space. There are several displays that commemorate the spirit of freedom and liberty in our country.

Don't come here I don't recommend it day or night!!! I've watched people with tinfoil doing their thing. Person in a wheelchair with tinfoil as well. It was traumatizing for me cause I'm sensitive and this is the area by the porta potties. I wasn't even here for 10 minutes looking out from inside my car. When someone came to knock on my window and ask if I needed "something" and then they also asked for a cigarette.!! The 711 gets gone through a few times a day. I've seen police there on and off! It might be suitable with Someone and their dog. I don't think the people will bother you in that case, but I don't recommend walking alone, especially if you're female!

This has everything I love in a park... bridges, waterfalls, steps, and more. Great place to walk your dogs, have a picnic, or just read a book. I'm definitely going out of my way to walk here again next time I'm in SLC. So pretty, so green, so peaceful. Make a stop then head to Memory Grove afterwards!

It is very scenic with the rolling lawns and Wasatch Mountains as a backdrop. Their "Pavilion" is more realistically named a picnic area. Face it, the average local family wouldn't fit their extended family in this four-benched "Pavilion". There is a baseball backstop, but BYOB (bring your own bases!), and I have no idea what the blue lines on the basketball court are for ... but they aren't for hoops! As well, there is a bit of a trash problem ... and the toilets are, in my humble opinion, Squat At Your Own Risk. There are also some cool bronze sculptures lining the area, definitely worth checking out as you stroll along...
