Great place for walking, jogging, getting with friends.

by rixtr

This park has only become better and better as the years have gone by, without a doubt. Haaving been raised here in Salt lake and utah county, i've been familiar with this park since iwas 8 years old. It has been improved upon and well patrolled from vandalism and vagrancy by far i would say more than any other parl in the city. A very good place to come and enjoy picnics and outings with friends, family or even alone to walk, jog or whatever other excercise one prefers. Keep it up, Maintenance people of Liberty Park. Kudos to ya.

• Pros: Very well taken care of, probably by locals who love the par
• Cons: Vey few drawbacks. The park is well patrolled.

great park if you can see through the neglect

by matley

yes, this is a nice park with lots to do, however my husband and i were very disappointed in the extreme lack of care and attention it has recieved this summer. they spent lots of money refurbishing the park lately and then let it go. trees and shrubs are dead along the north to south center sidewalk and are in desperate need of shaping and pruning. weeds are taking over. the pond was horribly poluted and drawing creatures to it from every direction. i don't understand the effort and money put into a project and then it is left to deteriorate.

Whether you're looking for peaceful solitude or want to play tennis with friends, this park has it all.

Overview
Many festivals take place at Liberty Park, so don't be surprised if you arrive and find a mass of people buying snow cones and hemp jewelry while belly dancers and musicians put on a show. In summer, check out the Sunday drum circle.

The Experience
A lot of people jog around the park's perimeter (about 1.25 miles). The Tracy Aviary is a popular spot, and there are running fountains, a large pond, a swimming pool, a children's garden and concession stands as well. You also can tour the historic Chase house free of charge. There aren't many permanent pavilions, but on the eastern side of the park, you'll see the posts of what used to be a row of such structures.

Great for Families!

by jancey03

I think that this is one of the best parks I have ever been to! I have a 4 year old daughter who loves it! The playground is wonderfule and huge! And the water features are even better. The pond where all of the ducks and seagulls hang out is also great, but bring plenty of bread crumbs! There is even a couple of kiddie rides that are a nice break for the parents. I think that this is a place all families should visit!

• Pros: Fun, entertaining

Great Park

by korilynn

This is the best park in Salt Lake City. It is great for walking, running, rollerblading, bicycling, and just relaxing. The pond with ducks is a great place to sit, relax and read a book. The park is huge and you can always find a great spot to hang out in a non-crowded area. Tracy Aviary is next door and a fun place to spend a few hours.

• Pros: Size, Duck pond, good for activities
• Cons: Not close to my home

Lovely green space

by robyngalbos_citysearch

This park, located in the middle of the city, is great for sunbathing, walking, or picnicking. Kids love to play in the fountain that replicates the city's surrounding canyons and the Salt Lake Valley. There's also a ferris wheel and some other kiddie rides--great for birthday parties. If you've never walked through Tracy Aviary, check it out. The facility is well kept and lush greenery makes you feel like you're in another world.

• Pros: Central location
