Sugar House Park

Sugar House Park is a large urban park located in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah. Spanning 110.5 acres, it is one of the most prominent green spaces in the Salt Lake Valley. The park sits on the former site of the Utah State Prison, which was relocated in 1951.

The park features gently rolling hills and grassy areas, providing ample space for various recreational activities. A notable feature is the 4.5-acre pond with fountains, which attracts various waterfowl and serves as a scenic centerpiece. Parley's Creek also runs through the park, adding to its natural beauty.

Sugar House Park is popular year-round. In warmer months, visitors enjoy picnicking, jogging, and sports activities. The park's hills become popular sledding spots during winter, with safety measures in place to protect sledders.

The park is managed by the Sugar House Park Authority, a non-profit organization established in 1957 through a collaborative effort between Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County. This authority oversees the park's maintenance and development, ensuring it remains a valuable community resource.
