Memory Grove Park is a great little park by Salt Lake City’s beautiful Capitol Building. It may not house sport courts, but the small park allows guests to let their dog loose or enjoy a family picnic. It is a great escape to a cute area amidst downtown Salt Lake. The stream that runs through the park is also another calming bonus of the park.

City Creek Park is another little park right in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. Some people call it a “hidden gem” because is it so small and picturesque. Some people may complain that it is too tiny, so beware if you want to go to a park for some sports or wide space activities, this is not the park for you.
