Confirmed from West Valley City 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.

“It was great brass look good the podium was clean children had fun on their birthday party”

Nice park with high grassy areas, picnic tables, and a pavilion. Biggest downside is how hard it is to find a road that isn't blocked off so you can actually drive into the park.

★★★★☆ — Jesh , Mar 2019

Great park, for family time. For bbq. Well kept ball park, manicured. Lawn mower. Always clean grounds. Love to visit almost weekly. Kids loves it wide likes it so we make time to go let the kids run off some energy. Always hand full of people there enjoying the parks too. Even watch practices

★★★★★ — Jason , Oct 2018

A nice park. Very clean and plenty of grass around also. Nice for walking.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
