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.

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 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...

A day like this deserves to be soaked up and stored in your bones all winter long. Surely the snow will fly at some point and on those bleak days, you can close your eyes and draw upon the reserves squirreled away on autumn days like the one we had when we discovered Kletting Park. A day as ripe as this one deserved a walk, and while we do love the walks in our own neck of the woods, we both thought that walking around the Avenues would be an extra special way to spend the afternoon. So off we went. We parked near the governor's mansion and wound our way along the streets under the few remaining leaves of tree-lined streets, gazing on the variety of homes in this hood. Large manors, decrepit wooden carriage houses, new modern replacements, and old, squatty dwellings. It's a wonderful, historic neighborhood. At some point, we wandered into Richard K A Kletting Park. It's a cute little pocket park, not much more than a bench, a little swatch of grass, and a small playground. But there's also a small sign with information about Kletting, and that actually became a memorable part of our day. Kletting was an architect. Not just any architect, but a prominent and influential early architect in Utah. You've seen his work. The original Salt Palace. Saltair. And his most well-known work, the Utah State Capitol. He also designed many of the houses around the park, and we went looking for them after our quick visit to the park. With Wikipedia in hand, we read about Kletting and looked for his notable works as we finished our walk. What a wonderful way to spend a sunny afternoon!
