Canyon Glen Park

Natural Beauty

Nestled along the Provo River, this 34-acre park is a little touch of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle. Canyon Glen Park sits right in Provo Canyon, where you're treated to some seriously impressive mountain views that might just make you stop mid-walk to take it all in.

The river flows right through the heart of the park, creating that perfect ambient soundtrack of rushing water while you relax. It's also a nice spot to cast a line if fishing's your thing.

Hit the Trails

If you're looking to stretch your legs, you're in luck. Canyon Glen connects to both the Provo River Parkway Trail and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Whether you're in the mood for a casual stroll, training for a marathon, or wanting to tackle something more challenging, these connecting trails offer various options.

Not feeling the hiking vibe? The park has volleyball courts and horseshoe pits when you're in the mood for something a bit more playful. And there's plenty of open grass to throw down a blanket, toss a frisbee, or just cloud-watch for a while.

Amenities & Spaces

Picnic tables and pavilions are scattered across the grounds, great for everything from family lunches to catching up with friends. The park's amphitheater is a cool feature that holds up to 150 people - great for community events or just enjoying an impromptu performance if you're lucky enough to catch one.

Kids will make a beeline for the playground area, while the fire pits offer a chance to roast marshmallows or just enjoy the hypnotic dance of flames in designated safe areas.

Good to Know

The park welcomes visitors year-round, but winter might see some facilities closed or limited. With 145 off-street parking spaces, you shouldn't have trouble finding a spot, even on busier days.

Whether you're planning a family day out, seeking some solo time with nature, or meeting friends for an active afternoon, Canyon Glen Park offers a nice mix of natural beauty and practical amenities.
