Confirmed from Millrace 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.
Amenities at this grassy space include an off-leash dog area (permit required) & bass-fishing pond.
What runners say about Millrace Park
“There are bags all over for others to clean up, but with dogs running around loose, they may not know their dog created it.”
“This is a huge and beautiful park next to the river with really nice walking trails, soccer field, kids play area, public bathrooms and a large dog park.”
“There is lots of shade right near the playground, and a walking path around the big field.”
“Millrace Park is a peaceful gem in Taylorsville—perfect for picnics, strolls, and watching ducks glide across the pond.”
“The playground is good for all ages.”
I love this park, very close of the Wasatch mountains..Have a Pavillions, & a playground. All green around, with many trees 🌳, outstanding views, side walks to do jogg and hiking areas. The grass areas are beautiful & clean! Have many branches to seat & admire the nature...
This is actually a nice dog park. The layout is nice, with some trees, rock formations, and some tunnels for the dogs to enjoy. Not very busy on a Sunday, seeing it a little more busy on a day with 75 degree weather would be good for the dogs, but not so busy that it is congested.

This is a great dog park. It's not as big as some others, but it still has plenty of space to run and play. Poop bags are provided (PLEASE pick up after your dog!) and a water fountain and bow for your thirsty pup. Dogs seemed to be better behaved here than at other parks.
