Sugar House Park

Great park for activities all year long! Always clean and the mature trees provide great shade.

Best space for dogs! Wish I had more time to walk around the whole thing. not sure its off leash however, as we were leaving there was an animal service truck driving around… didn’t wait to find out if we were breaking the rules or not

You ever hear of National Geographic? Sugar House Park is pretty much like that. except you only have ducks, a frozen lake, and snow/​cold park go-​ers.
I can’t really write anything sarcastically witty about this park because i actually like it, so let me just give the facts:
Sugar House Park is about 110.5 acres. Follow the park road and it’s about a 1.38 mile walk/​run, with designated walking path, biking path, and actual road! Pretty nice, right? Surprisingly, the noise of traffic from the roads surrounding the park feel almost non-​existent.
With that said, stop reading this review. Get out, and get those calories burning!

Great city park in downtown Sugar House. Parking is pretty easy and it provides nice running lanes for walkers, dog walkers, and runners. Also a great place for a picnic at the tables or under the trees up on the hill. The views are beautiful.

Great park in heart of Sugarhouse! They have a nice loop roadway for biking or running and a nice pond feature at the west end. There is also ample parking and playground facilities.

Great little park! I came here for the giant pumpkin regatta and was pleasantly surprised by the nice little pond, great places to sit and have a picnic as well as great places for running and cycling. I have not been able to go to a lot of parks in Salt Lake but this one is a cute little park that I would love to go back and picnic at. Even if I am just sitting next to the pond eating a sandwich by myself! Just be aware that there is a lot of goose poop out there because of the pond. That didn’t bother me but I would bring a blanket if I wanted to picnic!

This park is so gorgeous and the closest thing I’ve found to Central Park since I moved here. I just wish the garbage and bird mess was maintained better.

Love this park. The view it has is simply amazing. Very relaxing and really well taken care of. One of my all time favorite parks. Great spot for a daily walk/​jog too. Calm and peaceful unless you are here on a 4^th of July then it’s total chaos in a fun celebrating way :) a must see for any SLC visitor.

If you talk to one of the older residents in the area, they would tell you there were a lot of drug problems with the Sugar House Park back in the 70s and 80s. Looking at the park now, not a trace of those tales could be found in the park.
First time I visit the park was about 20 years ago as a kid during the winter, there was a tradition of sliding off the hill on the south side of the park. It can get chaotic at times, but kids generally will have fun in the process, and free for the parents too. The tradition kept up and you will still find many kids and parents sliding off the hill every winter after a big snow storm.
During summer time, they have lakes, pavilions, and playgrounds for all your outdoor entertainment needs. The pavilion are available for private event reservation, I believe you get a discount if you live in the city. Multiple barbeque stations are all over the parks next to the pavilion. They have wild ducks in the pond to entertain the children. The pavilion next to the pond gave a great view of the sunset.
Great place to visit all seasons during the year, there will always be some sort of activities going on there, especially a minor level of fun for the folks living in an augmented reality.

This is one of my favorite parks! I have been going here since I was a little kid. The huge pond, stream, and plenty of room for frisbee, football, rugby, makes this park one of the best!
There are always people there, but it is big enough that you can always find a secluded spot.

Sugar House Park is great for spending an hour or two. Great sledding hill for snowy winter days. Park can be very busy, even on weekdays. Plenty of ducks and geese to feed, trails to walk and the new connecting trail to Sugar House is neat!

This is a great park in the middle of the city. Easily accessible off the freeway. Great views of the mountains. Always clean. Great place to take your dogs for a stroll, a good run, feed the birds, play on the swings, or go sledding in the winter. When I was going to the U I did see one of my professor’s parked by him self, don’t know if he was waiting for a booty call or what, but hey it’s a park, weird shit goes down. At least this park its under wraps and doesnt make you feel sketchy.

Snuggled up against the Wasatch front with Mt Olympus standing guard flocks of fowl flutter in to partake of the wide open grasses and pond for a dip. Pines abound songs fill the air and life begins to open up to all.

One of the best parks in These United States. Great for dogs (officially on leash but dogs can generally go off), best fireworks on the 4^th in the Salt Lake valley — weirdly, privately owned.

Another nice park and it’s quite large. There are quite a few places to reserve for BBQ’s and get together including some nestled away if you’d prefer a more private outing.
There’s a pond which at my most recent visit was low and stinky but maybe that was temporary.
There are huge stretches of grass to play in or to get away and sun bath. And in between and bordering the neighboring school you will find little woodsy paths to go exploring on.
Another bonus is this park connects via a walkway underneath 1300 East to the Hidden Hollow natural area. A nice little nature walk park that exits up near the little shopping district. Filled with more streams and paths to wear out kids and pups.

Kudos to Salt Lake County for continually investing in this park. I don’t mind the occasional construction project (and there have been many lately) that keep the sparkle on a big park like this.
Sugar House Park is one of the larger parks in the system, and so you’ve got a lot of different things going on to try do describe it.
Most people will shout out the lake – and that’s probably the most prominent feature. In the summer, people dot the shoreline and lay in the sun, watch the ducks and geese, and walk around the water’s edge. In the winter, it freezes over and you can watch the birds come in for a landing and slide to and icy stop. The hill is full of sledders while the snow is good, and it’s the magnet area of the whole park.
Don’t forget, however, that there’s more to it than that. There are pavilions all around the edges, which can all be reserved starting at $ 70 for a half day. The process is pretty painless, though it does require a stop at the SL Co Parks & Rec office.
There are a few different restroom options, lots of parking areas around the whole loop that circles the park, and a couple (?) different playgrounds for the kiddos. Watch them closely around that lake, as well as the small creek that runs through the park. The flow can vary depending on runoff and the time of year. But the small riparian corridor and bridge are really fun.
Green grass, blue sky, picnics, the song of a brook singing through its course – this is a pretty great place to be on any given day.

I’ve been here for a few events and every time I come I always promise I’ll come back at my leisure for a good run around the park. It’s actually very nice here.
My school hosted a 5k here and this is the perfect place to hold something like that. Its very nice and green. Well kept.
Caution: driving is one way around the park. I learned this quick by just driving in the wrong direction upon my first visit.
It’s BBQ, kid, runner and bike rider friendly.
The whole Sugarhouse community is gorgeous really so it’s surrounded by nice homes and a comfortable atmosphere. Usually people stay to walk/​run around the park late so must be safe.
There are a couple little eateries right outside the park too. Haven’t tried them yet but they’re sure on my list.

I’ve always been a big fan of Sugarhouse Park. It’s a great place to run and play and frolic. The track is approximately 1.5 miles around, which means you only have to run 3 – 4 laps to get a good workout. And it’s also got HILLS! This increases the degree of difficulty and really helps raise my metabolic rate.
There are acres of green grass here. There’s ample room for playing football, Frisbee, rugby or whatever else you’re in to, There are also plenty of BBQ grills and pavilions for your family get-​togethers.
This is a great park to bring your dog (on leash) to get some exercise and meet lots of other canines.
There’s a great sledding hill that’s best utilized in the Winter time, although I guess you could bring your own ice block and have fun in the Summer as well.
There’s a pond for feeding ducks and seagulls, along with a small stream that runs through the middle of the park.
The only downside I’ve ever experienced is the occasional A-​Hole that drives through the park at 40mph, endangering the lives of the pedestrians. Fortunately, that A-​Hole isn’t always in attendance and most drivers are pretty courteous.

This park is great for biking, jogging, dogs, or playing a game of volleyball. I’d go here everyday if I could. Sometimes the park is overrun with sports teams from Highland, Olympus, or city league rugby games. BUT even though I say that, I’ve found myself watching a lacrosse/​rugby game or two… our three. One of the best parks in Utah by far!
This park is great if you are active. I bike with my wife around the perimeter road, which is 1. 4 miles around.
Also if you want a more grueling workout you can bring some cleats and do sprints up the grassy hills.
During the Winter the park has an unpleasant smell due to the drained duck pond, but in March the pond is full and there is no odor. When the park is full be sure to bring a bag of bread to feed the ducks, geese, and the aggressive seagulls.
Also during the Winter there is a perfect sledging hill on the South West side that has hay bails at the bottom to prevent children from sliding into the road.

This park has everything one could want out of a man-​made-​enclosed-​area-​for-​human-​activities. It has sledding hills, basketball courts, a nice outdoor track for runners, grassy nulls for sun lounging, mature trees for the shade lovers, play grounds for the little babes, plenty of room for any sort of activity. The list is endless if you allow your brain to use some brain cells for you know, living and enjoying the outside world.
They always have great activities such as the easter egg hunt for autism, plenty of 5K’s that I have enjoyed participating in, and in all honesty… this is where I train for any of my runs AKA Ragnar etc due to it having hills and such to train on. I wish I lived a bit closer but you can’t always get what you want.
The only complaint I have, is that one of the playgrounds (centered in the middle) could use a little TLC. Lucky for them, my little babes prefers swinging up into the clouds!
