    Great views of the whole city. Fun little park. Free parking and plenty of things to see, and explore. The red colored rocks are a great visual landscape. There were arches, caves, and all kinds of little area to explore. There were plenty of people exploring, hiking, climbing. Families with children, adults, and people of all skill levels. There were some picnic tables to enjoy a meal. Some signs explaining the history of the area. The view of the city is pretty spectacular. Enjoy my photos.

    I was most worried about using public restroom when hiking. But I was impressed with this park. The whole park is clean especially the restrooms. Easy to walk and hike. Beautiful red rocks on one side and city and street view on the other side.

    Pioneer Park offers stunning views and a peaceful, scenic escape perfect for all experience levels. The walking trails are beginner-friendly, with a few that lean toward easy to moderate, making it a great spot for families or casual hikers. The red rock cliffs and desert landscape create a beautiful backdrop that's ideal for photos, quiet walks, and soaking in the natural beauty. We loved how open and exploration-friendly the park was--plenty of space to wander safely while still feeling connected to nature. Whether you're looking for a relaxing stroll, photo ops, or a light outdoor adventure, Pioneer Park is a must-visit gem in the area.

    Very kid friendly! Beautiful, I had my wagon full of kids. Some paths are paved, there's so many war codes and signs. It's so worth the stop!

    My friend and I were passing through St. George on our mini road trip out West, and I zoomed in on the city on the map to see if there were any worthwhile quick stops. I noticed Pioneer Park and that it wasn't far from the highway, so we pulled off to check it out. It was a very popular park with lots of other folks walking around the rocks. The "cabin" structure within it was really neat to check out too! It also offered great views of the city. I'm so glad we stopped.

    Great place to explore and it's pet friendly. There were multiple parking areas that will fit large trucks. The only downside and the reason for 3 stars is because all the glass we saw on the ground. Be careful with your kids and pets.

    Pioneer Park is like a mini mini national park of red rocks. One can climb around and hike the red rocks and cliffs. There is a slot canyons where we hike through a very very narrow slot, definitely not for those who are claustrophobic. Overall a great place for adults and children to explore the landscape and nature. Ample parking and several picnic areas for the family. We cannot wait to bring our nieces and nephews when they are older to climb around the rocks

    Really cool park! My kids and I enjoyed climbing and exploring here. I recommend going earlier in the day as the rocks do get pretty hot in the summer. There's a pretty desert garden type place next to it too.

    The slotted canyon, think thin and you can climb out the other end. A favorite with young children.

    Once you choose where to park, there are several small parking lots, you can do easy to strenuous hikes. Most people try the slotted canyon, if you are thin enough you can climb out the other end of the canyon. Great place for photos and testing your claustrophobia. The views are amazing from several locations, just choose a mountain and start climbing. Highly suggest the baby arch, just follow the trails. There are picnic tables if you wish to take a break and have a snack. Great place to let your kids go wild, guaranteed to fill their need to climb and use up excess energy. Even Great views of the surrounding area without climbing. This park can easily take as little as 90 minutes or all day. Plan ahead, have the right footwear, bring plenty of water and snacks.

    We left coming here. It's a great family place to go hiking and explore. We come here once a year in the Christmas lights are really nice.

    It was breathtaking scenery when arriving at the park. There's plenty of parking. I wasn't a fan of hiking but was so amazed by the beauty of nature. Especially, I felt so proud when we got to the American flag pole. The weather was perfect in November.This will be definitely our must stopping place in Utah.

    Mini arches, mini slot canyon. This is like they purposely took all National Parks and recreated them in a scaled down version. But it's just a free city park with naturally occurring rock formations. There is even a cave! Would love to have this in my back yard.

    Park de Triomphe Beautiful 52-acre park located at the edge of Red Cliffs National Conservation Area (RCNCA) and is a rock climber's dream. The Good: *Free parking and admission. *Fantastic place for rock climbers as well as a great place to bring young kids that would love to explore, climb and run around like wild chimpanzees. *Hiking trails at the adjacent RCNCA *Covered picnic areas w/ BBQ pits *Restrooms *Be sure to check out the Red Hills Desert Garden at the east end of the park. *Slots canyons! *Amazing views The Ugly: *Not much shade at this park so be prepared (i.e., water, hat, sunscreen) TLDR: City parks like this make me envious of the people who reside here and almost makes me consider moving to this beautiful area. Almost... ;)

    I'm so glad I came across this park! There are a couple of other parks in town that I usually stop…read moreat with my dog, but as I was driving by, I noticed this park and my dog needed a potty break, so I pulled into the parking lot and got out. 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.

    St George has some great parks! Shady, at least in parts, with some cool equipment. My kids all…read morefound something fun to do (age 3-11). Less crowded on the days we visited, than the larger Thunder Junction down the road. Odd, though, no drinking fountains...

    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.

    At this park weekly St. George farmers market is in full swing. There are food trucks too. You can…read moreorder your food in the market grounds too. 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.
