Confirmed from Evergreen 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.
Family-friendly venue offering a playground featuring a pumpkin-shaped carriage as well as an open field and picnic tables, plus swings.
What runners say about Evergreen Park
“Plenty of shade and picnic tables under a roof, bathrooms, and the pleasant sound of Mill Creek running along the edge of the park.”
“There is an awesome playground that entertains all ages from littles to pre-teens, a baseball field, and additional fields.”
Not much of a walking trail unless you walk around the huge field. Found an wonderful monument regarding the first African American Slaves who came to UTAH. Looked for a sign stating dogs need to be on a leash. Never saw one. The park does have one dog bag station to pickup after your canine/s.
Great park! Plenty of shade and picnic tables under a roof, bathrooms, and the pleasant sound of Mill Creek running along the edge of the park. There is an awesome playground that entertains all ages from littles to pre-teens, a baseball field, and additional fields.
This as my favorite park when I was a little kid( so it holds a special place in my heart), I'm now 32 and live nearby. They have updated most of the playground equipment. I've always loved this park. I love walking my dog here. It's such a great place for picnics, parties, relaxing, playing, etc.
I grew up with evergreen park, so I loved it before they renovated it, but it's even better now. I love the walking trails, the restrooms, and all the new play structure features. It's not a terribly big park, but it still has everything you'd want, and it's right next to the community center and library.
