Exchange Park

Riverside Escape

Located next to the Provo River, Exchange Park spans a generous 9.8 acres in Provo, Utah. This little slice of nature offers a refreshing break from city life with its serene riverside atmosphere.

One of the park's best features is the Provo River Parkway Trail that winds right through it. Whether you're in the mood for a casual stroll, a morning jog, or a bike ride, this trail is great for all these activities. It's a local favorite and connects seamlessly to Provo's larger trail network - meant for extending your outdoor adventure.

Room to Roam

Lush, open grassy areas stretch across the park, giving you plenty of space to throw a frisbee, kick a soccer ball, or just sprawl out with a good book. There's something incredibly calming about hearing the river flow nearby while you're lounging on a picnic blanket or soaking up some sunshine.

Planning a family reunion or birthday celebration? The park offers three pavilions (two large and one small) available for rent. These covered areas have become go-to spots for everything from family gatherings to community events.

Fun for Everyone

If you've got kids in tow, you'll appreciate the two playground areas designed for different age groups. The little ones can climb and slide to their hearts' content, though keep in mind the playgrounds have wood chip surfacing, so maybe skip the sandals.

Sports enthusiasts haven't been forgotten either. There's a sand volleyball court waiting for your next game (just remember to bring your own net), and a horseshoe pit for those who prefer a more leisurely competitive activity.

Nature at Your Fingertips

What makes Exchange Park truly special is its built-in access to the Provo River. You can easily get close to the water's edge - though be prepared, that mountain runoff stays pretty chilly year-round! During spring snowmelt, the river transforms into an impressive, rushing display that adds an extra dimension to the park's natural beauty.

On hot summer days, you'll appreciate the abundance of shade trees scattered across the grounds, offering cool respite when the Utah sun is beating down.

Practical Matters

You can find the park well-kept with clean grounds and facilities. Restrooms are available for when nature calls, but note they're seasonal and closed during winter months.

Dog owners can bring their four-legged friends along (on leash, of course), and there are convenient dog waste stations with bags placed throughout the park.

Whether you're looking for an active afternoon outdoors or just a peaceful spot to reconnect with nature without leaving the city, Exchange Park offers both possibilities in one space.
