Hidden Valley Park

Peaceful Canyon Retreat

Nestled in a quiet canyon in St. George, Hidden Valley Park spans 12.3 acres of tranquility that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's one of those hidden greens (living up to its name) that locals cherish and travelers stumble upon with delight.

You can find this serene spot within the Ivory Homes Development in Bloomington Hills, making it a neighborhood favorite. If you're just passing through on the I-15 freeway, it's worth taking a quick detour - especially if you've got restless kids in the backseat needing to burn off some energy.

Playground Paradise

The park has an impressive playground setup that'll have kids begging to stay "just five more minutes." With climbing structures, slides, swings, and monkey bars spread across two distinct areas, there's something for every young adventurer.

Older kids can tackle the main playground while the littles have their own toddler playground designed with their size and abilities in mind. Parents will appreciate the thoughtful safety features like soft foam padding underfoot - no more scraped knees when your excited toddler makes a beeline from the playground to the splash pad!

In the scorching St. George heat, the shade sails covering play areas are absolute lifesavers, keeping equipment touchable even in summer. There are plenty of covered benches nearby too, so you can keep watch without melting in the sun.

Water Features & Seasonal Splashes

When temperatures climb (which they definitely do in southern Utah), the park's splash pad becomes the place to be. Operating from April through September, it's where local kids cool off and visitors discover that perfect midday refresh.

It's especially magical for the younger crowd who can safely splash around without the depths of a pool.

Sports & Recreation

For the more active crowd, Hidden Valley doesn't disappoint. Shoot some hoops on the basketball courts, practice your serve on the tennis courts, or dig your toes in the sand at the sand volleyball court.

Not feeling competitive? No problem. Take a leisurely stroll along the walking trails, pedal through the bike paths, or simply find a patch of the well-kept grass to relax on.

The open spaces are great for impromptu frisbee games or letting your four-legged friend enjoy a walk (just remember to keep them leashed).

Amenities That Matter

Hidden Valley Park seems designed with comfort in mind. The two covered pavilions equipped with multiple picnic tables make it ideal for family gatherings or birthday celebrations.

When nature calls, you'll discover several individual restrooms that are kept in good condition - a detail that shouldn't be underappreciated in public parks! Staying hydrated is easy with accessible drinking fountains, and if you need to check emails or post those park selfies, there's WiFi access throughout.

Parking is plentiful, so you won't have to circle endlessly even on busy weekends.

Natural Beauty

What we particularly appreciate about this park is its setting. The canyon location offers stunning views that transform into something magical as the sun sets.

If you're feeling a bit adventurous, explore the climbable rock formations or watch as kids race up and down the hills with seemingly endless energy. Tucked away in its quiet residential surroundings, Hidden Valley Park offers a peaceful alternative to St. George's more crowded green spaces.

It's where local families go when they want that perfect blend of recreation and relaxation, surrounded by Utah's natural beauty.
