Parkway Park

Park Overview

Located next to W Parkway Blvd in West Valley City, Utah, Parkway Park spreads across a generous 7 acres as one of the city's regional recreational spaces. This clean, well-kept park offers a breath of fresh air with its open layout that welcomes families, friends, and solo visitors looking for a bit of outdoor time.

Recreational Facilities

If you're in the mood to move, Parkway Park has you covered. The sprawling grass sports field comes complete with soccer goals - meant for everything from casual kickarounds to organized matches. Got a competitive streak? Head over to the basketball courts or tennis court for a friendly game.

For something a little different, check out the paddleboard court or challenge a friend at the permanent outdoor ping-pong table (just remember to bring your own paddles and balls!). There's also an artificial turf area that's great for various activities, and you might even find cornhole games set up around the park on good days.

Family Amenities

Kids will feel right at home here with playground areas thoughtfully designed for different age groups. Little ones can explore the toddler-specific equipment while older children tackle more challenging structures. The playground's soft sand base is a bonus - ideal for impromptu sandcastle building and safer tumbles.

Hungry? The park's large pavilion can host up to 80 people, making it a go-to spot for family reunions or office get-togethers. You'll also find BBQ grills and picnic tables scattered within the grounds, so you can fire up some burgers while enjoying the fresh air.

Natural Features

The recently added pollinator garden adds a touch of ecological mindfulness to the park. It's a peaceful spot to observe butterflies, bees, and other pollinators going about their important work among the specially selected plants.

Comfort Features

Parkway Park understands the little things matter. You'll find benches for when you need a breather and open lawns for spreading out a blanket. Practical amenities include drinking fountains to stay hydrated, bike racks for cyclists, and clean public restrooms - always a plus for longer visits.

The park offers some modern conveniences too, with free WiFi across the grounds and plenty of parking. If you hear the familiar jingle of an ice cream truck, it's probably making its regular rounds through the park - bringing a few dollars along isn't a bad idea for a sweet treat.

Visitor Information

The gates are open daily from 6 AM to 10 PM. While generally peaceful, the park sees a surge of activity around 11 AM on school days when students from a nearby school drop by. Plan accordingly if you're seeking either social buzz or tranquil solitude.
