Liberty Park

One of the best parts of living in downtown SLC is Liberty Park. When I was a kid this was one of the worst parks in the City. Over the past few years though, the City has put a lot of money into the park, thanks to the Olympics. Besides just cleaning up the park, they've added some awesome water features. The Canyons Fountains are one of our favorite summer play spots. It is a mini replica of the canyons surrounding SLC and the rivers that run from these canyons into the Great Salt Lake. It is a bunch of little "rivers" that run into a knee deep pool at the bottom. Unfortunately, because of the outbreak of stomach sickness associated with pools and things, the Canyons have been closed. Luckily, Liberty Park also has fountains in the playground area and this past Monday evening for Family Home Evening, we went over to play. There's nothing better than water on a hot summer evening!
