Carterville Park
About Carterville Park
Hidden Local Retreat
Tucked away at the Provo/Orem border, Carterville Park stretches across about 5 acres along Carterville Road. This somewhat hidden spot offers a peaceful retreat from the busier city parks and serves the Carterville neighborhood and nearby communities.
Something for Everyone
Whether you're looking to entertain the kids or get some exercise, the park offers several options. The playground keeps little ones busy with slides and crawling spaces, while the zipline is a definite favorite among the more adventurous children. Just a heads up: the playground has wood chip ground covering, so shoes are a good idea, especially for tiny feet.
Sports enthusiasts can shoot some hoops on the basketball court or play ball on the baseball field. If you're just looking to stretch your legs, the walking path offers a pleasant route with some pretty impressive mountain views in the background.
Perfect for Gatherings
Planning a family reunion or birthday celebration? Carterville Park has good facilities for outdoor events. With two large pavilions and several smaller tables scattered throughout, there's plenty of room for everyone. The available grills make cookouts easy, so you can flip burgers while the kids play nearby.
You'll come across clean restrooms with soap (always a plus for a public park) and drinking water on site - practical amenities that make longer visits comfortable.
Natural Beauty
What makes Carterville Park special is its tranquil setting. Parts of the park offer generous shade from mature trees, while other areas let you soak up the sunshine. The green spaces provide a natural backdrop for picnics, reading, or simply unwinding on a nice day.
Since it's nestled within a residential area, the park is super convenient for locals looking for some outdoor time without traveling far. There's a parking lot available if you're coming from further away.
Four-Legged Friends Welcome
Dog owners will appreciate that this is a nice spot to walk your furry friends. Just remember that you need to keep your dogs leashed at all times - it's park rules.
