Where to go for outdoor adventures

Murray Park is the centerpiece of the city's park system, with fields for soccer and baseball, tennis courts, playgrounds and an arboretum along Little Cottonwood Creek. The park’s indoor ice rink stays open all year, but there are seasonal events at the outdoor amphitheater and aquatic center. You can stop by for the farmers market held on Fridays and Saturdays in the summer and fall. Wheeler Historic Farm is a working farm and park that hosts Farm Fest to celebrate spring and Pumpkin Days in the fall. For a quieter spot, you might go fishing at Willow Pond Park or use the athletic fields and playgrounds nearby. For trail users, the Jordan River Parkway Trail is a paved path running for miles along the Jordan River, connecting smaller parks and offering trailheads and canoe launches along the way.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
