Around the 4th of July and Pioneer Day teenagers set off fireworks in the parking lot late at night, which is a bit of a drag for the people living nearby, but they generally clean up after themselves. I found some broken glass on the sidewalk near the bathrooms a few times, but other than that it had been a great little neighborhood park.

Park has plenty of close parking and uses turf as ground covering. Half the park is shaded with a Pavilion and picnic tables. We are not from Provo and are 100% impressed with this park. The other folks using the park were so kind and friendly. We are attending a different park each week in the Provo area and will offer a review. This first park will be hard to beat!!

North Park's best feature is its convenient location next to the Provo Rec Center, as you can have…read moreyou kid do a little inside and a little outside. It's not very big park, maybe a couple hundred yards of space, but it has trees above giving some good shade (I'm sure much handier on sunny days). The main feature is the playground: three slides and climbing apparatus for the kids. We were there on a Friday afternoon and it was packed with kids; yours may find a friend. One unique feature is the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum and the Sons of Utah Pioneers Village ... cool for some local history!

This is a nice little park with viewing benches, a small sand/gravel path, and a pond. The pond has…read morefish inside it and is complete with ducks as well. There are quite a few trails and pathways that lead to the north side of Utah lake and I've seen people frequent them. I wouldn't recommend the pond for swimming , but it's great for some casual fishing and watching ducks swim around. There are lots of shaded bench areas as well and also areas I've seen people set up hammocks to relax. Quite easy to get to and free street parking. A nice little getaway from the hustle and bustle of Saratoga, Lehi and American Fork.

This a good park, not the best and certainly not great, but decent. The park has a few pavilion…read morepicnic areas but no park barbecues. A small playground is also there and usually has a myriad of children rummaging through. There's lots of grassy area for any activity you can dream of. There's horseshoe spots near the back corner as well. One bathroom location, which is as gross as every other park bathroom everywhere. The signs said closed for season (in April) but the doors were wide open so I'm not sure if that's taken as law around here or if anyone cares to check. The toilets are the metal, prison-esque and they're very gross. Not taken care of at all but that's not a surprise or much of an issue for me as I'm sure most park bathrooms are taken care of much. The best part about this park is its location by the Provo River and river trail. An excellent bike or walk path to take. All in all, it's a decent park and good place to start or end your walk/bike/run on the river trail.

It's incredibly convenient that it's right by the Orem Public Library as well! We can go grab a few books for the week and then run around at the park right after! In addition, I love the two distinct parks that are there. There is one for older kids and then this park has a whole section for younger children called the "Tot Lot". The slides, swings, see-saw and all the interaction sections are aimed at a younger crowd. I love the distinction, but my five year old still enjoys running over and playing in this area as well. They have also thoughtfully created shaded areas for the parents to stand under. One by the main playground and then another by the swings. I adore a park with intentional spots of shade! I particularly like the variety of park "obstacles" here. To list a few, there are two different zip lines, four slides at the "big kid park", one slide at the Tot Lot area, a climbing wall, a little merry-go-round, musical instrument area for both parks, monkey bars and obstacles at different heights and so much more. The intention for this park to span age groups was achieved!!! So many things for kids of all ages to explore and play with. We love this park and would recommend to anyone!

There were several picnic tables under a protective roof. The wind was horrible however that day. It was a bit chilly even though it was 75 degrees. The park has restrooms, a water fountain, and several things you can do, riding bikes, running, walking g, and floating the water as well as other things. It's a really pretty area with lots of trees and water that runs along the park. We had a great time and would highly recommend this park for a nice family time

If you want to come and take a breather and let some steam out, this is the place. There is a five-mile hike if you want to bike, skateboard, walk or run. The hike is amazing. Beautiful scenery. As we were walking we found this really awesome cave! Too scared to go inside though. As you are walking there is a nice creek on the side and picnic benches. Nice spot to chillax. There are bathrooms and also a playground for the kids. They have this cool train you can play on as well. The only thing I didn't see is a fire pit or grill to BBQ. There are a few other spots nearby that have these if you want.
