A stream cuts through the park, creating a relaxing and peaceful space. There are several displays that commemorate the spirit of freedom and liberty in our country. The installations invite you to reflect on these foundational ideas. Some of the installations were in disrepair and could benefit from some TLC. Still, it's worth a visit.

They all seemed like locals and we're not from here, so...when in Rome. We let our dog off her leash too and she had fun exploring and meeting other pups. Pet parents came and went and although a few did keep their dogs on leash, most let their dogs free to play in the little valley of grass together. We only stayed about 30 minutes but we did see a playground and a little amphitheater and what looked like some great walking trails. There was also ample parking and I'm sure there's a lot more to explore at this park.

It was fun to see the dogs explore, play in the watering ponds, meet doggie friends. People were nice for the most part too. Of course like typical Utah fashion I have to say hi first before being greeted (sorry Utah, ya'll are not so friendly lol). There were even some teenagers with tubes that were going to go floating. Parking is along the street and in the smaller parking lots too. Pick up after tour pups too. There are doggie bag stations located through out but please don't toss your filled bags on the ground. Take it to one of the trash cans to dispose of. I can't wait to go back.

It made it easy to connect with people almost like it was a meet up group but totally wasn't. In general I think it just made striking up conversations with other dog owners a lot easier than any other parks I had gone to.

There are several paths you can take, most of them are pretty clearly marked but I could see how people could get lost if they venture off the path. The leaves in the fall were breathtaking with the sun sneaking through the trees as if to spotlight them on the world's stage. Yes, I wax poetic when it comes to nature. I can't help myself. Go see for yourself and you'll do the same. Along with the spectacular array of colors, there's a nice rope swing that someone put up for people to enjoy (thank you to whomever did that!) and a few random forts made out of fallen trees and branches. My inner nine year old was loving every moment of it! The map showed us that we were near a cave, but we struggled to find it. We eventually found one (I think?) but the entrance was cemented over. Maybe there were others, but we gave up and vowed to return again to find them.

Take in the epic views of the great salt lake from up high, walk along the coastline of the lake. There hiking trails up the mountains. There are bison all over to explore and photograph, as well as tons of species of birds to watch. If you're lucky you'll spot some Antelope or long horn sheep. Saw lots and local bicyclists, I imagine it wpuld be a blast to ride. You can park at the entrance and ride in at a small parking lot. The drive down the eastern coast is spectacular and if you don't mind a dirt road you can continue for a little further to the southern tip. Or stop at the pavement and check out the ranch that's been there for generations. What a cool place, I am so glad I got to visit an check it out.

Parleys Creek is supposed to be a PROTECTED WATERSHED in drought prone UTAH. Helping the homeless and being kind is very noble and charitable. It should not put the taxpaying public at risk.
