Confirmed from East Side Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Playground with swings, slides and fire pits amid hilly terrain, plus a covered eating area.
What runners say about East Side Park
“Nice park, well kept and maintenance does a good job of keeping it cleaned up.”
“It has great views, wonderful trees, and a super fun playground.”
Lovely park with a large playground, swings, small pavilion, fire pit, and walking path around the park/up and around the hills. The views are beautiful around the park! There is lots of grass but it is fairly hilly. I imagine it is a great park for sledding in the winter!
Nice park, well kept and maintenance does a good job of keeping it cleaned up. It is probably the most popular sledding hill in south Utah county in the winter time!
There is a small walking loop that is nice and keeps you within sight of the playground. Lots of big trees for good shade.
This is a great neighborhood park. It’s on the edge of the subdivision and offers walking paths or trails
