Every Park SLC

There are roughly 511 parks across Salt Lake County, and City Cast Salt Lake podcast host Ali Vallarta spent two years surveying them all in order to make this map. Because public parks are the crown jewels of our communities!

The City Cast Salt Lake Parks Map is the first-ever guide to every park in Salt Lake County, where you can filter for the the exact amenities you seek, whether it's off-leash dog parks, toddler-friendly playgrounds, beach volleyball, splash pads, grills, and so much more. We even gave them a star rating.

How to use this map: On the left side, click the "layers" icon, and then "filters." Select your preferred amenities (as many as you like) to find your perfect park.

We went to 511 parks managed by 24 different departments over a two-year period to collect this information, which means there could be human error. If you see a mistake or want to share an update, email [email protected].
