For Midvale--with only 4 parks and some very small ones (that I've reviewed rather critically)--BJP is a masterwork. First, a call out to anyone living in the Riverwalk Homes, Cascades at Riverwalk, Winchester Estates .... or heck, anyone in Midvale or anywhere near Midvale: GO TO YOUR PARK. On the banks of the Jordan River on its east side and enveloped by homes and apartments on the other three, there is a stunningly empty park on an 80-degree late summer day. There's a gigantic open, grassy area perfect for play. It has hill with a pronounced mound at the top. It's a great vantage point to see the park--as well as the mountains and the whole valley. But it's not there by accident. Come winter time, it becomes a sledding hill. There's a bit of a techie design to the place with the circuit board/microchip design between the pavilion and the basketball courts. And, oh, yeah, the basketball courts! Six different hoops, all adjustable to regular height or slam-dunkable for those with non-existent jumping capabilities. If you're on a day like when I visited, you can play a full-court game on a high-quality hard court (donated by, and adorned with, the logo of the Utah Jazz). With the long steps by it, the area doubles as an amphitheater. Add to that a full-sized sunken baseball field, equipped with walls and lights for night games give it that real baseball park vibe. The covered play area is the perfect meshing of rope of all sizes ... a climber's dream. Add to this several table-benches and the cleanest park restroom Ive been in, and you've got the perfect place to take the family on just about any day. I know I'll be back!

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.

On one side is a baseball/softball field, the other enough grass to hold an NFL game. On its other side is another baseball/softball field. They have epic lighting, so the fun won't stop at sundown. There are all the classics for an excellent park: A covered "pavilion" with ten picnic tables, a well-kept playground, restrooms (my only beef is the cleanliness), basketball courts, tennis courts (that need a little weeding) and a 1/3 mile jogging trail. There's so much space and so much to do...I'll be back!

My Sunday softball league just started playing at this park. I have really enjoyed these fields and…read morethe park seems to be really well maintained. Only two downsides... 1. The parking lot is tiny. Our league is pretty big and the lot is filled quickly. Luckily, I am always early. ;) 2. Only one of the two fields has an outfield fence. The east field is complete with fences, but the western field only has painted lines indicating the outfield fence. This is difficult with a bunch of competitive guys and creates frequent arguments. Pretty nice place for our league though. I definitely recommend a visit if you are near by.

We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful early June weather and found the Conservation Garden…read morePark just a few miles from our lunch spot. The first amazing surprise is there was no entry fee! We entered the garden and quickly ran into another surprise- a human-sized chess board! My boys wanted to play a game against each other...didn't know it was going to take 45mins...but it was fun to sit and watch and listen to the birds chirping. We then continued our tour around the grounds and saw many wonderful plants, trees, bushes, flowers and more. The grounds are beautifully manicured! There some educational areas where you can learn more about irrigation, landscaping and design. To walk around the garden takes about 30mins, but we spent 1.5hrs here as we took a lot of pictures and asked some questions from the workers. The workers and volunteers were very gracious to answer our questions and teach us more about the garden. You can tell they love their job and they love visitors. At the end of the tour, I made sure to drop a little cash in their donation box. Thanks Conservation Garden Park for the great time!

We stopped in here to take some casual iPhone photos as a family since we don't see eachother everyday.

They were definitely worth the photo op. I saw other family going on train rides that would take you from one place to another. If you want to enter the zoo, there was an admission fee. Also there were pony rides for the kids to enjoy. Once you are done, there was a gift store available to shop for soverniers. If you want to spend most of your time here especially when you have kids or enjoy a family fun, I would avoid booking a tour. I believe the vistors parking is free.

I'm not at all surprised Amphitheater Park has yet to be reviewed: It is tucked away past the Sandy…read moreAmphitheater with no signs pointing to the park itself. It's a shame, since it's on a beautiful patch of land with a great view of the Wasatch Mountains. What a breathtaking, expansive view of the greater Salt Lake valley and the Wasatch Mountains. It has a lot of great walking areas, a unique playground, a reservable pavilion, an a renowned water feature which becomes a kids hotspot come summertime. I highly recommend taking an ambling walk to Quarry Bend Park, lass than a mile from AP. It's a pretty flat walk, no too strenuous, and it will give you an opportunity to experience two of Sandy's fabulous parks. The one minor negative for me is location. The west end of the park skirts the Lowe's and Hobby Lobby on the east end of the Quarry Bend Shopping Center. And, being right off of the hill part of 9400 S, some areas come complete with the whooshing of cars. Overall, a great park ... another feather in Sandy's cap!

Even in the time of COVID when parks are a better option, I noped out. So do take note that when sports are in season, it's full of kids and parents watching games. But today, I stopped by for just a few minutes and it was quiet. Lovely. Shade. The perfect early autumn day with sun high in the sky but temps a lovely weather, and just a few people out enjoying the vibrant green grass that's bounced back after a dry summer. I read my original review just now and the nostalgia came sweeping over me. I have almost no recollection of the incident I mentioned before, where my buddy and I played football with his crush and she threw a block. That same buddy is married to someone else and has four kids now, so apparently the block didn't garner the respect she had hoped for. But I do remember the scholf of my young childhood, being taken away to give my mother a bit of respite and dad coming up with a shoe-golf game that was both fun and free. Today I really took note of the park, and all it offers. There are tennis courts, with lights you can turn on to play after dusk. There are restrooms on the east and west side. And the big empty fields of my youth are now lined with huge mature trees and have been converted into baseball diamonds. There's even a halfcourt basketball hoop on the very east side and a small paved walking path that navigates the circumference of this long, skinny park. It's my favorite part of Sandy, especially down towards main. Sandy has become a strip-mall-and-suburbs-track-housing kind of place, and it's nice to see a bit of the old charm and character in these streets. What a wonderful little park and delightful spot to spend a few minutes this afternoon.
