Provo, UT

We went to Payson City Memorial Park today. It’s a quaint little town park that makes you feel like your back in the 50’s, why you ask? Well, you are surrounded by old architecture that has been preserved and there is a bandstand where every Sunday at 8pm you can come and hear the Payson City Band play.
Not only does it have the charm of days gone by but it has the benefits of an updated park as well. Most of the playground equipment is new and there is a community pool also.

The playground was really nice. I liked the fact that they had baby swings that my four month old son could swing in. I also like all the benches located in the playground, so you could sit right there and watch the kids play instead of sitting at a picnic table a mile away.

The pool was just getting ready to open when we went. I am told the cost for swimming is two dollars but I couldn’t find any more info on it since it was not open for the season yet. If the pool is not your cup of tea, there is always the pond and stream to play in.

There is lots of open grass to play sports or have a picnic and the huge trees provide great shade. There is a nice trail that runs through the park for walking or riding bikes. The park also has tennis and sand volleyball courts.

This park is located in downtown Payson. Go south on I-15 and take the Payson Main Street exit. The park is located on Main Street between 2nd and 3rd South.
