Aspen Meadows would be best described as a dog-walking park…read more While it has a gigantic space, there aren't the usual sporting accoutrements like tennis courts, basketball hoops, goals and such (although the room is plentiful enough for it!). There is, however, a perfectly placed playground for the kids, a few picnic tables including one under a gazebo. This playground includes the usuals and some unusuals, including a cool mini rock-climbing wall. The is a little bit of road noise, but luckily 9800 isn't used much up this way! Placed on a steepish hill, with a walkway around it, the grandiose space is perfect for walking your dog...or walking yourself. ;) There is even a poop-bag station. There is also a cool walk path connecting directly from the nearby neighborhood. Definitely a cool park for the whole family!

It's small enough I don't feel like I'll lose my preschooler, but large enough that my elementary age kiddo can still run around with some independence. I also like the variety of water features here--dumping buckets, geysers, a stream for buckets and more. It can get busy pretty quick when the weather heats up (there's the downside to the size) but we've never left because of crowds. We just make a point of trying to arrive when it opens (10am?)! Bonus: Covered picnic tables, drinking fountain and restrooms, and ample parking to the East AND on the street.

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. (Photography requires a $10 pass) It was the perfect backdrop for what we were doing, and we had a great time exploring the gardens through the park along the way.

The breeze through the evergreen trees and the pampas grass in late summer/autumn is just lovely to listen to and the pines smell wonderful. There's almost no one that ever visits simultaneously so you're almost guaranteed a serene place to yourself. Come a few times a year to experience the garden a little differently every time and enjoy the various fragrant flowers throughout the season, learn a bit more about water conservation and Utah native gardening, and enjoy the wildlife from quail to squirrels to butterflies and bees -- I flinched most around the bees the first couple times visiting but I've stopped completely as they are very honed in on the task at hand . It's always such a peaceful visit. The only thing that would make it better would be if the road noise could completely disappear but that's the trade off for getting something so wonderful, completely for free, without having to drive far.

Well, this is a different place than it used to be. As a kid, I would go here with my dad. It was a…read moreschool then, and we'd sled down the hill. Some very fond memories of my dad getting the old inner tubes, blowing them up, and tubing down. He took my little brothers a couple times and I went as a pre-teen and the hill seemed much smaller then. As a teen, my first ever paying job was here. Again, it was still a school, and they had baseball diamonds where I was an umpire for tee-ball. Such memories. When they got rid of the school, I was curious to see what would happen. What sprung up in its place was a park that the next generation of kids will have to fill their memories. Instead of the school, and a winter-only sledding hill, this is a full-blown summer park. Apparently splash pads are a thing. Safer than a pool (at least for drowning) and still built to keep you cool in the heat of the summer, there's a big ol' splash pad here that's built for the little ones to stomp around and get wet. Bring the sunscreen. As others have mentioned, there's a lack of shade here, so you'll want to protect yourself from the sun. And it's probably best as a weekday reprieve. It swarms with kids on the weekends and you might get elbowed around. Beyond the splash pad, you've got some playgrounds that are geared towards different aged kids, some courts, and a whole lot of grass. This park covers the bases for lots of kids of different ages and will surely be one of the places to provide them with fond childhood memories.

They have a little playground for toddlers with a slide and other cool obstacles. They also have a sand pit with diggers so you can add water and create mud for castles, a cool little beach feel I guess. For older kids, they have ample amounts of slides, obstacle courts, climbing, a zipline type thing, and more. They also have two full sets of swings, I think 12 total, with 2 out of the twelve being fit for toddlers. There is plenty of space to host parties, picnics, and more. They have basketball courts with adjustable rims so you can lower it for the little kids. They also have multiple tennis courts for tennis lovers as well. Plenty of open fields for frisbee, football, soccer, catch, running/walking your dog. Not to mention a dirt trail for the health enthusiast. I was there the other day and I saw a bunch of diggers, dozers, so they must be adding something new. All in all, this park is awesome. If you have been searching, look no further.
