Confirmed from West View 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.
Park with a playground, picnic tables, and facilities for tennis, basketball, and baseball.
What runners say about West View Park
“Always a great Park relatively clean for being right in the middle of the city.”
This was a really nice park. Big wide open area to run or play and not worry if you are crowding other families or parties of people. I like it because I take my therapy dog so she can have free time. It's the one place she can have a lot of space, we can run and not worry we will run into someone with another dog.
This park has a nice tennis court, playground, large open grassy area, and this is a great place to park for getting on the paved Utah and Salt Lake Canal Trail. I roller skated on the trail, going East, and found an almost half pipe section to practice on that was across from a field of horses.
It is great park, grew up with it, outside fresh coat of paint on some walls, that place is over 10 years old, run down, and needs a complete overhaul. That sand is much safer for my ninja warrior, and a lot of the rubber over the metal is worn down, the benches are kind of beat to hell and wood, and the tennis court…
This is a cute sand covered Park. No swings and a big field used for soccer or other ball- sports. Tennis court has a hill next to it for spectating. A few picnic tables under a pavilion. There are bathrooms but they were locked.
