About Trailside Park
Trailside Park is a 60-acre community hub offering a wide range of recreational activities for all ages.
The park features expansive green spaces, sports fields, courts, a skatepark, bike park, and two playgrounds, making it an ideal spot for both locals and visitors looking to enjoy the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of the area. A multi-use paved trail also loops around the park.
Pets must be leashed at all times, except in designated off-leash areas and are not permitted in the playground area.
History
The Trailside Park property was purchased in 1996 for the purpose of constructing the Basin’s first true community park. Construction was completed in 1999 and the much needed sports fields opened for play in 2000. At the time of development, Trailside Park was considered to be “built in the middle of nowhere”. Within a few years, several new residential areas and an elementary school became close neighbors.
Attractions
Playground
The ‘lower’ playground is perfect for younger kids (ages 2-5) to play and explore and features swings, slides, and shaded picnic tables. The ‘upper’ playground (ages 5 and up) was fully remodeled in 2019 and transformed into a vibrant structure with climbing features, slides, swings, and interactive play. There is also a large pavilion adjacent to the upper playground.
Dog Park
Trailside Dog Park has two fenced areas, one for small dogs and another for large dogs. Each area features a mix of grass and native shrubs, benches, and shade shelters. For additional off-leash adventures, head to Trailside Loop trail, a designated off-leash area and multi-use 1-mile loop trail.
Courts
The park features 2 tennis courts and 4 pickleball courts. There is also a full-sized basketball court. All courts are first-come, first-served. Paddle saddles are available for pickleball players to share court time and indicate which group receives the next available court.
Skate Park
This custom, multi-purpose skate park hub is a hub for skateboarders, BMX riders, and scooter enthusiasts. The “street-scape” park has a quarter pipe feature, grind rails, bank ramps and more, catering to all skill levels from beginners to seasoned pros. The skate park also has shade structures and picnic tables.
Disc Golf Course
Built in 2016, the Trailside Disc Golf Course is 9-holes of unbelievable fun with longer downhill shots, uphill challenges, great exercise, and gorgeous views of the Wasatch Back. While there aren’t many trees, our natural mountain desert landscape offers thick sagebrush outside of fairways, so a spotter is recommended. Please follow signs and stay on established trails. Players should be cautious of wildlife and mountain bikers. The course is part of the Trailside Loop trail, a designated off-leash dog area.
Playing Fields
Trailside Park features two large grass playing fields, nicknamed the ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ fields. When not in use by Basin Recreation programming, user groups, and tournaments, this is a popular spot for families and community members to enjoy a picnic or play a pickup game.
Pavilion
The park features 3 pavilions that are available for reservation. Pavilions feature ample shade and picnic tables.
