While my 10 and 8 year olds fulfill their mountaineering dreams my little can bring me peace swinging on the baby secure swings and preschool fire truck slide. This park also provides basketball courts, large grass field, stage, bathrooms, water fountains (yes, more than one), spout, and a large pavilion with picnic tables. It's one of our go-to family gathering, birthday party, and picnic parks.

Cute park! My kids love coming here. I wish parks were this cool when I was a kid. The only thing…read morethat could make this place better is shade over the play structures. When we came to the park it was crazy hot. The pavilion is a nice place for parties and has plenty of shade!

The FlowRider is AWESOME!!!…read more My wife and I made the trip up from Las Vegas for my birthday over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. We booked a surf lesson at 2PM, but due to some timing issues had to move it to 3PM which the team was more than helpful in accommodating. It's hard to believe it can be as cold as the high 20s outside and you're inside catching waves on the FlowRider. The pool area is well heated and the water was warm. There are plenty of grandstands for people to sit and spectate. They have lockers to hold / secure your stuff while you catch waves. They have bathrooms for changing, and showers to clean up after (the only thing I wish they had was more areas in the bathrooms to hang or set your stuff down while you shower or change. Even a small foldaway table would have been helpful). Our lesson was essentially a 60 minute private since my wife and I were the only two in the session. Our instructor John was super friendly, helpful, and informative. He gave us a quick overview and had us riding waves within the first few runs, and if you wiped out (which is pretty painless and fun) he'd have some pointers for you for your next run. We each would do 3-4 runs and then trade off and as long as we had the energy John was at the ready to help catch waves. This was a total five star experience, and I can't wait to do it again! It looks like they also have GA type session where you pay the hourly fee and it's open to the public for everyone to use in turn. However, I'd highly recommend a lesson if it's your first time out. You can also rent either half or whole of the FlowRider by the hour should you have a private event or just want to hone your skills.

Terrible experience at Provo Beach. My cousin ran into an exposed zip tie in the indoor playground…read moreand ended up covered in blood and needing an ER visit. Instead of helping or apologizing mid-crisis, a male employee knelt down and told her, "This is why we don't run," while she was crying and bleeding. Completely insensitive and unprofessional. If running isn't allowed, there should be signs or better supervision. An exposed zip tie in a kids' play area is absolutely unacceptable. Plus, what would you expect?? If it's a KID playground, there should be at least one employee or attendant nearby watching them if running wants to be avoided.

The Shay Park is the hopeful destination of all young train lovers out there. And having raised a…read morelittle boy that once was obsessed with trains, I am certain that this park is popular! The playground is in train shape-even surrounded by railroad crossing signs and a bridge. There are a few slides, rock structures to climb on and a nearby bench for caregivers to watch at a safe distance. There is a large open field as well-I saw a soccer game going on when we visited. A pavilion is adjacent to the park as well-perfect for birthday parties. And a parking lot with ample space for all the park goers prevents street crowding for the neighbors that share the road with the park.

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.

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!

There is lots of shade provided from the trees, and there's a cute little stream that runs along next to it! There is also an area to play "frisbee golf" within the park. However, the goals are just painted poles with numbers attached. This park is perfect for playing sports, hosting a family reunion, eating a picnic, or resting in the shade on a Sunday afternoon. It's also a fun area to walk around, as there are 2 bridges over the stream, and the Cedar HIlls Parkway Trail runs right through it. It's nothing to be utterly amazed by, but it's a nice park for what it's worth.
