I was hanging out with my nephews for the holiday so we went to thunder Junction, there is no entry fee, but you'd think you were entering an amusement park. Lots of things to see and do and play with, mostly playground type things, but also some neater stuff like these splash pad water area, and the small train. Highly recommend this for the kiddos if you're in St. George or just passing by.

This playground features a huge, well-maintained play structure with tons of space for running and exploring. Compared to other playgrounds, it is also well-shaded. There is also a smaller toddler play structure, although that one does get a lot more sun exposure. Beautiful grassy areas and tons of trees surround the playground. It is also next to a covered picnic table area. There is also a splash pad that we didn't get to see this time, but hopefully next time we will! I wish we could have come to this park more than once. But it was a little bit out of the way compared to the other places we visited. But it is definitely worth including on your list of St. George playgrounds!

The park looked beautiful from the start and hearing the water from the nearby creek that goes through some of the 7 acre park was very relaxing and peaceful. There are no swings in this park more than likely because they have been taken out of most parks due to safety concerns. The closest thing you will find to a swing at this park are the swinging benches and I recommend relaxing in one near the creek like I did because it was so nice! This park is located next to the Santa Clara River and the water flowing through the creek is water from the river. There was a flood in 2005 and there are plaques I saw that mentioned some of the homes right near the river across from this park that were flooded and the plaques tell some of the story that you might want to stop and read and then take a look around at the area to better understand with a visual experience some of what happened. The playground is very interesting. Hubby and I had a fun time trying to figure out what the heck most of it was. I can't imagine they would take the swings and other playground equipment out to start putting this type of stuff in, but it's happening and I am seeing it at more and more parks. The play structures I saw and played on were extremely fun and also extremely dangerous. You will have the type of kids who don't let kids play in a place like this and will give a 1 or 2 star rating because the playground equipment is dangerous, but not me. I rather let my kids have fun memories of playing at the park and if they break an arm or leg well that's just what happens and I will not sue the park or city because it's just apart of being a kid. The Santa Clara River Regional Trail goes through the park and the path for it is hard to miss and well maintained. There are 2 shaded picnic areas that are good sized with picnic tables and BBQ grills. There are bathrooms and they were clean, a volleyball court and horseshoe pits. This park offers something for the whole family.

The town square has a myriad of things including some picnic tables, art work, sculptures, and music playing through some speakers in the nearby tower. While sitting there enjoying a picnic lunch a roadrunner decided to show up and it was funny to see some little kids chasing it. The bird was probably stressed but the little kids thinking they had a chance to get close it it was making me laugh. All we needed was a coyote (meep meep). There is a carousel, a splash pad, and lots of art sculptures. The area is lit up right now in Dec, with Christmas lights, and they are done pretty well. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby within 1/4 - 1/2 mile, easy to walk around. Check out my photos.

A million years ago when I was in high school, I broke up with my boyfriend at this park. It was a…read moresad day, but I've had many great memories there since then (and even made amends with the boyfriend and we are on good terms now). Anyway, this park has been around forever and whether your memories are of the lush, green grassy areas or the adjacent recreational equipment, you probably have a story of your own. Hopefully there are more happy memories than sad ones like mine. Because it's centrally located and a large size, there are lots of markets or community events that are held here. There is a parking lot nearby as well as ample street parking. It's a great space to bring the St. George and surrounding community together.

Then there is a pavilion you can go eat under at a picnic table or take a huge blanket to enjoy your food on the grass close to the park while the children play. There is a farmer market every Saturday. The hours for summer are 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (noon) MDT until October. Winter hours are from November to April 10 am - 2 pm. Closed the last 2 weeks of December and all of January for winter break. This park is huge, plenty of space for big or small families to congregate too. Area to play pickle ball, run, shade to relax, walk with your fur baby on a leash, walk along the pathway with your signing other (you get the idea), safe enough to walk by yourself too and plenty of space to set up family outdoor games. Bathrooms, drinking fountains, and plenty of parking. Parking, little side rant. If you are parking on a Saturday when the area is busy, then it sucks finding a spot. The vehicles start parking at entrances/exits, then it turns into a one-way battle of who is turning around. In my opinion, parking should not be allowed in those narrow entrances/exits. Otherwise, it is FUN, FUN, FUN... and next door to rodeo grounds, too.

We visited Pioneer Park for the first time recently, and while it's definitely a beautiful and…read moreunique spot, our experience was a bit mixed . We didn't really know where to start when we arrived, and there wasn't much direction, so we ended up just climbing the first rock formation we saw. Honestly, if it weren't for a group of people ahead of us, we probably wouldn't have had any idea where to go. I was hoping to make it to the arch, but the climb felt a little too steep and slippery, especially with kids. We were carrying our three-year-old and keeping a close eye on our six-year-old, who was feeling a bit more adventurous than we were comfortable with in that terrain. We didn't make it very far in and mostly just stopped to take a quick photo so we could say we visited. It was also pretty hot, with the sun beating down the whole time, which made it harder to explore and enjoy the park fully. That said, the park itself is really nice, and you can tell there's a lot to see if you're prepared and know where you're going. I'd recommend going earlier in the day, bringing plenty of water, and maybe looking up a map or trail guide ahead of time, especially if you're visiting with young kids. Overall, it's a cool place, but we didn't get to experience it as much as we had hoped. Definitely worth another try with better planning!

One thing to note is that it didn't seem very stroller friendly from the main entrance. There were stairs right away, and unless we missed another accessible entrance, it made getting in with a stroller a bit challenging. The museum was smaller than we expected. We explored the second and third floors, but the first floor was closed during our visit due to renovations. We're not sure exactly what they were updating, but hopefully it adds even more to the experience once completed. A nice bonus was the WIC discount. My cousin showed her WIC card, and admission was only $3 per person for up to five people. Children under 2 were free, which made it very affordable for families. Our kids, ages 10, 5, and 2, all found something they enjoyed. Their favorite exhibits were the airport area and the dinosaur ride. We spent about 1 1/2 hours there before heading out. Since we're from Las Vegas, we're used to visiting the Discovery Children's Museum, which is much larger and offers more exhibits. Because of that, it's hard not to compare the two. That said, we understand every city has different resources and budgets, so we tried to judge this museum on its own. Overall, it was a fun place to visit once, especially for younger children. We probably wouldn't return unless they expand the museum or complete the renovations, but we're glad we checked it out while visiting St. George.

There's plenty of grass to run and play and the huge trees near the picnic tables offer the perfect shade to enjoy a relaxing lunch in the park. The park is pretty much an open field because soccer practices and games take over the park on most days. There is a small playground and restrooms, BBQ grills, drinking fountains and electric outlets are offered, but remember this park focuses more on being a soccer field than a park with playgrounds and shade structures. If you have a kid who plays soccer this park is for you. I did really enjoy the views of the red cliffs, but this park works better as a potty break stop for my fur baby.
