South Fork Park is a nice local park that feels tucked away compared to busier areas. I’ve been here for walks and casual visits, and it’s always been calm and clean. The layout is simple, and there’s enough open space to relax without feeling boxed in. It’s a good option if you’re looking for a quieter park experience. Everything feels well cared for, and it’s easy to appreciate how useful it is for nearby residents.

Absolutely a hidden gem. Beautiful park with some amenities and picnic tables. Toilets closed in winter. We enjoyed the trails.

A wonderful park for kids! This is a great new park with plenty of amenities for kids. It has a great mostly covered play area, sitting areas for parents, bathrooms, a nice pavilion, and a grassy area. Its proximity to the Provo river trail makes it a great waking area/destination park for a Sunday family stroll.

I'm giving this place 5 stars, ONLY because it really is a great park. But I would love to give it no stars because I hate hate hate the fact there's sooooo many mosquitoes there that ate me alive when I went. Definitely take yourself some bug spray. It's a fun walk though and is pretty. It's an easy walk that anyone can do. The boardwalk walks you thru trees that makes it exciting for the kids, and while inside all the trees you'll find a cool spring spraying water. There's also a stream that runs along side the boardwalk. The park itself has hills, lots of grass, a fenced dog park, playground with slides, swings and climbing activities. Has a bathroom and parking is great!
