Canyon Glen Park

Provo Canyon

Great monkey bar potential. They have one of those hanging bars that slides which are always a crowd pleaser. I was a little nervous with my 3 year old runner and the proximity to canyon road but I stationed myself between the park and the road and so I could be a little less anxious. No shade on play structure. One bench near play structure. Covered Pavilion clean. No garbage cans near picnic area, which I found sort of weird.

We hit this park at 10:30 am and I was really surprised at how cool temperature wise the park was. Great play equipment. We would have stayed longer but we kept finding dead black beetle carcasses all over. Nasty. It did turn out to be sort of educational because I had assumed that the dead were part of the Japanese Beetle infestation around Orem. Not so, these buggers were black and the Japanese Beetles are greenish.

Highland Glen Park

Directions: 4800 W., turn right and travel south to stop light, just south of Lone Peak High School. Turn right and travel west to the parking area.







I hadn't been here for at least 6 years and its a shame because it is so delightful. Ducks are abundant and hungry, and the fish literally are jumping out of the pond. It has plenty of good shade, nice benches, very well maintained. It would be a great place to bring the little kiddos to do some fishing.

The playground, however, could roast like molten lava until at least 6:00 in the summer.

I would love to come back with a blanket, picnic, duck food, and a book and let the kids just explore.
