I noticed wheelchair ramps, modified swings and playground facilities that anyone could use. From their website, the old playground was "loved to death." What a great thing! So the new one was constructed with EVERYONE in mind. Wood chips are gone and replaced with a rubberized soft play surface. There are plenty of slides, swings and things to climb on. There are also a bunch of areas that are covered by canopy-like things, providing shade cover. Parking is still a little iffy-the road is one-way and depending on where you enter the park, you may have to drive the entire loop before you get to the playground. But it's worth the drive. While you're there, be sure to check out the library and take a walk around the park-there's plenty of space to roam!

Another nice thing is that the sandpit, swings, and parts of the play structure are fairly well shaded certain parts of the day, making this a good park for sunny or warm days.

The Cottonwood Heights Parks & Recreation system played a major role in my childhood. I've only…read morejust come to this realization, but sifting through my first memories of childhood and then those wonderfully formative elementary school years, it's evident that the local parks are home to some pretty terrific (and terrifying) memories. You don't want to hear about all that, though. So I'll cut to the chase. Anzak Park. In my mind, it was always the tennis park. I've never played tennis there once, but there are some nice courts that were always well-maintained and always busy. To this day they seem pretty well-maintained and a popular place to go whack a few tennis balls with your buds. The pavilion bisects the park. The reservable area actually has power and houses around 100 people. You've got potties and BBQ pits as well, so everyone should be comfy. Kids have a small but serviceable playground, and the southernmost part of the park has two baseball fields. They're not magnificent, but they'll do just fine for the local little leagues. You may see the place spelled as Antczak Park (or perhaps it will get change on Yelp, depending on what the official name is), but honestly, I've only ever seen it as Anzak. I didn't take note of the sign the last time I was here, so perhaps Cottonwood Heights is making an effort to change the spelling. But why make it more complicated than it needs to be. I'm sticking with Anzak.

I'm back to the annual update tradition that started nearly a decade ago, and the reason is that…read moreafter a year hiatus (thanks, COVID), Midvale's Harvest Days is back. So I spent some time here last weekend. But even moreso, I have spent far far far more time in the park over the last 4 months than I ever did before, due to the addition of a disc golf course. Now, back in the day (waaaaay back) I was pretty into the sport and have played on about 100 courses all over this fine country. But the sport blew up and is having a moment right now, so much so that courses are popping up all over the place and this fun little pitch-n-putt par 3 seemed to show up out of nowhere. It's great--everything is under 400 feet, and it's brought a lot of people out to the park that might not ever have made it over--truly making this a park for the people. Besides that, they've made some big improvements. There's now a massive pavilion over by the senior center, which is no longer the senior center, but rather a lovely little museum. It's a drought year so I take it easy on them for the condition of the grass which is, you know, not precisely lush right now. But it's beautiful to see them taking water conservation seriously. I'll be over there plenty often now, getting in a quick 9 holes in under an hour, but I'll also be back for Harvest Days next year. Until then!

Something for the whole family. Parking lot is on the small size for a park, and the Boys and Girls Club is near by, I believe they share the parking space.

Legend has it (and I confirmed when my friend arrived) that you can stand on opposite ends of the gazebo and whisper to each other and be heard. Fo' sho' it works! Not only does the park have that neat little attraction, but there are big, beautiful trees all around. I came during Christmas season and got to see them all dressed up in colorful lights. Hint, the lights stay on all night, so go in the early morning to avoid the crowds. Light peeping at 6am just hits differently than at 8pm. I also saw lots of dogs walking their owners-which is a big draw for me. Give me pretty trees, a nice bench, and a parade of pups and I'm set! Oh, and a coffee from Bubble N Bean. Yes, please!
