Lions Park

Lions Park is a simple, well-kept park that’s easy to enjoy. I’ve visited for short walks and downtime, and it always feels calm. The open space makes it a good spot to relax without distractions. It’s not flashy, but it does exactly what a local park should do. A dependable place to enjoy some fresh air.

This is a solid park. It's significantly larger and better kept than most, if not all, the other parks in Provo. It boasts a massive pavilion that would easily seat 300+, one smaller pavilion, and plenty of picnic tables scattered around the park, along the canal. A cute canal cuts through the east side of the park, flanked by reeds, and sometimes visited by ducks. You have to walk across at one of Lions Park's 3 bridges to enter the park, which physically separates the park from the car parking lots. 2 parking lots grant access to the park, one nicely paved, curbed, and gardened. The other is kind of gravely and is not wheelchair friendly. If you live in a close neighborhood, you can walk in through the parking lots, a neighborhood sidewalk access point, and two stairways on the north and west sides of the park. Beautifully, the entire west side of the park is slightly overgrown. There's a fence, but it's covered in creeper vines. Large, old trees lean over the fence and provide ample shade for so much of the walking path thatbcircles the park Plenty of shade and seating, a baseball diamond, and a nice safe feeling are the highlights of this park. We also enjoy weekly storytime over the summer, provided by Provo Library. I'd love to see a bigger playset or an additional playset, considering the size of the park. There's also nowhere within walking distance where I could grab lunch and still keep an eye on my kids.

Nice park with a large event pavilion with many tables and another smaller pavilion with a few tables. There are 2 small parking lots with one directly across from the event pavilion. Bathrooms on site are well maintained. There's a stream, lots of trees, a large open field, baseball field, playground, and a paved walking trail around the perimeter. Great place for a picnic or flying a kite. You might see a few ducks by the stream during your visit as well. Dogs are allowed but must remain on leash.

Lions park is wonderful. Restrooms are available although it is a gamble if they are clean or open. A small little creek with bridges is always a prize. Baseball diamond, plenty of grass, cement sidewalk around the perimeter as well. I have gone to lions park many times for all kinds of things and that is why it’s so great. Yoga, jogging, stairs, soccer, baseball, river rafting…. Just kidding. It’s one of the best kept secrets in town

Such a fun park! Many people don't know this, but this used to be a home to Native Americans, due to the shelter provided by the surrounding hills and the proximity to the creek. It has a playground, baseball field, a pavilion and long expanses of grass. It is well maintained and has a good walking trail. The only thing I suggest is that in the summer, you put bug spray on after sunset. I got like twenty mosquito bites in like 20 min.
