This is a great park. It is clean and has wide open green spaces. The playground is fun and large enough to hold a lot of kids without feeling cramped. There is also a little playground area for smaller children. There are a lot of swings and two different ways to spin around, basically modern-day merry-go rounds. There is a decent amount of shade around the park, but not much on the playground. There is a drinking fountain (includes a dog fountain, but the button is missing) and public restrooms. There is a pavilion area, tons of picnic tables, a sand volleyball area (bring your own net and ball), and a really nice disc golfing course.

This park has two playgrounds, good for older and younger kids. There are lots of benches and picnic tables all around. Lots of shade and beautiful trees. Its well cared for, trash cans are easily accessible. The restroom is clean. There is lots of space on the grass, and plenty of parking available.

Very good disc golf course. Great for beginners and seasoned players. Well kept and a hard place to lose a disc. So great place to practice. Dog friendly and has a big park for the kiddos.

We were at the softball fields and they were pretty good. I love the cement bleachers, they are wide enough to put a chair on and still have plenty of room. Much better than metal bleachers. There aren't many trees. The bathrooms are pretty rough, they get hosed down to clean them.

So I went on Taylorsville days and I have some mixed emotions. First off the main big stage was absolutely amazing! Then you have this little side stage with a kid and a guitar with his band. I'm really not trying to be rude, but holy cow! Absolutely the worst singing I have ever heard in my life! So off key it's not even funny and so sorry to do it buy the pic of this band should never be put on stage again in public or first learn how to sing and then play for the public! The absolute worst part about it is your online for rides for minimum of an hour and most likely an hour and a half and I was waiting in line next to this kid singing! That's why the bad review! The park itself awesome! The firework show at the end of the main stage is the most amazing fireworks I have ever seen in my life!
