Murray City Park

Best city park in the whole world with walking paths streams open fields trees and much more. A recreation center with pools courts and exercise equipment Also an outdoor pool in summer with slides and diving

Yessssss to this park! It’s safe at all hours of the day and night. There’s a beautiful grove of trees in one area. Pavilions for parties in another. A baseball field, a pond with many ducks and an outdoor pool with a huge slide! Not to mention the extensive walking trail. There’s a ginormous hill that people roll down in the spring and summer or sled down with inner tubes on snowy winter days! All of this is lifted even higher by the amazing Wasatch mountain range as a backdrop. Stunning!!!

I love Murray Park. There’s a lot of charm. It’s probably the most random park you’ll ever encounter. There’s a little river, a rec center, playgrounds, a swimming pool, a handful of baseball fields, pavillions, sand volleyball, and big grass fields. There’s also an amphitheatre that’s pretty well hidden.
Walk around and you’ll see pull up bars, double bars, etc and adjacent signs showing you how to use them to work out. On the north side, there’s a section with all different kinds of trees with little signs telling you what kind of tree you’re admiring. In the summer, you can find a farmers market.
To me, it seems like a bunch of people came together, said, «Hey, how about each of us plan our own little section of the park and we’ll just go with that? No changes to make them all fit together in one cohesive park.»
I am A OK with that. I love the gazebo, the weird small circle of concrete up against a fence with rose bushes around it, and even the random stairway that lead from the sidewalk to… grass. This park has so much character.

I really like this park, I like how it’s set up and hope spacious it is. There’s a path for running, walking, and grilling areas for grilling. Also you can have dogs on leaches though. You should check it out. I enjoy running there because there different scenic varieties it makes it fun while you’re running!

This Park is one of the best here in Utah. It is very well maintained & cleaned fairly regularly. They hold a farmers market here every weekend as well, (I’m not sure when it ends, but it is a good place to find fresh fruits & vegetables). My fiancé & I love to take our dog here for our Saturday & Sunday walks. We like finding all the hidden trails & walking them. One thing I’d like to warn you about is, because of all the hidden places there are in this Park, we wouldn’t recommend coming here alone, especially if you’re a women. You can never be too safe. My fiancé has witnessed a few disturbing things while walking our dog here. It’s sad to say, but these types of things can happen in any Park or recreational area. If you have to come alone to get a jog or walk in, stay in open spaces or around other people, don’t take the hidden trails unless you are with someone. Other than that, this is a beautiful Park & I hope all who comes here enjoys it as much as we do.

This is a nice park for picnics with good playgrounds.
Their swimming complex is great! I have been to many swim meets there for my son when he was in high school.
Parking can be iffy during busy times.

I enjoyed the 2+ hours I stayed at Murray City Park. Huge park with lots big trees, flowers, and other plants. All the outdoor activities and park should have except it didn’t seem like it had a have a basketball court. They have community pool with water slide, awesome. There’s lots of ducks in the nearby stream. A few pavilions for parties, lots of grassy area for people to have picnics. You can definitely take an enjoying stroll here.

By my counting, there are a handful of really well-​known and well-​used parks in all of Salt Lake County. Pioneer Park. Sugar House Park. Liberty Park.
As you head south, the parks become smaller and smaller, though there are still lots of ‘em. While Murray Park isn’t the biggest of the parks in the south part of the valley, I’d bet it’s one of the most popular. Multi-​use is the name of the game here. Some of the amenities include:
–A river running through it
–Concessions
–Swimming pool
–Rec Center
–Summer farmers market
–Rentable pavilions
–BBQ pits
–Sand volleyball
–Electrical outlets
–Grass fields
–Adjacent amphitheatre
–Restrooms
–Playgrounds
As a kid, anytime you went to Murray Park it was for a bigger event. The first waterslide I ever tried was at Murray Park. The rambling river and huge grassy fields invite big games, while the intimate gazebos and windy park roads offer a gateway to more private and quiet events.
You won’t have the place to yourself. You’ll probably see a bride or two getting some photos taken. It’s a happening park. I once saw an amateur dog show group holding practices here. True story.
Once again, Murray City has a shady, grassy park and they take pretty good care of it and offer a wonderful oasis from suburbia.

Murray City Park is kind of a hidden gem. Tucked just off State Street near Best Buy it is easy to overlook. Like most city parks it offers shady trees and grass areas that are great for picnics or reading a book, playgrounds for the kids, a swimming pool, and so on. When I’ve visited the park it never seemed particularly busy or crowded which is always a bonus. Like Karen S. said it’s «a little slice of heaven right off of State Street.»

My fav park to go, not too overwhelming with people or things to see. I really adore this park. If im having a ugh day this place makes me feel happier. My kids love the playground and there is alot of family orientated people there.

I adore Murray Park. I am originally from Murray, and I love that it has its own school district, its own power supply company, its own Library system, and its own park. It really is a great park. It has its own amphitheater, school, pool, gym (The Park Center… the nicest gym I’ve ever belonged to) skating rink, several playgrounds, arboretum, rose garden, fields for soccer or kite-​flying with a great view of the Wasatch mountains (oh man… I miss living in Murray!) And it’s situated right next to a Barnes & Noble! You could happily spend an entire Sunday here.

In addition to what you’d expect… the classic playgrounds, swimming pool, and grassy areas, Murray Park is filled with lots of trees, streams, and bridges, and even a gazebo. This makes it wonderful for picture taking and picnics. It’s killing me to talk about picnics right now because it’s currently covered with snow. So, we’ll move on.
In one section the trees are labeled by type with little placards, so you can do a little tour and learn about all sort of different types of trees. In the summer there is a farmers market in the lot up near the swimming pool that is filled with local people selling their fresh vegies and fruit. Murray’s outdoor theater is also attached and has shows being performed there in the summertime.
Dogs are allowed on leashes. It always seems very clean and there is plenty of room for everyone, even on crowded days, to play, sit and relax, or meander. It could, perhaps use a few more picnic tables, but the ground is nice too!
It’s pretty much a little slice of heaven right off of State Street.

Good for kids, multiple playgrounds, pool, and fun do go during the farmer’s market.
