Where to go in South Salt Lake for some time outdoors

South Salt Lake has a variety of green spaces, from neighborhood gathering spots to a major regional trail. The largest spot is Fitts Park, where you can follow the walking trail that flows past Mill Creek and the playground. Parley's Trail, an 8-mile paved pathway for cyclists, joggers and walkers, connects the Bonneville Shoreline Trail with the Jordan River Parkway and passes directly through the area. For a more traditional day at the park, General Holm Park sits along the Jordan River and features a playground, a walking trail and picnic spots.

South Salt Lake celebrates art throughout the year

You don’t have to go downtown to join in on annual events, because South Salt Lake hosts its own. The South Salt Lake Arts Council organizes most of the activities, including:

  • Mural Fest, which brings local and international artists to paint murals across the city each May
  • Craftoberfest, a celebration of art with drinks, live music, vendors and a barrel art competition
  • Paint the Parkway, a collaboration with the Jordan River Commission to decorate part of the Jordan River Parkway

Driving or taking the light rail to get around

I-15 and Interstate 80 run directly through South Salt Lake, providing access across the valley. It takes about 10 minutes to drive the 5 miles to downtown Salt Lake City, but traffic can make the trip longer. The Utah Transit Authority operates the TRAX light rail system, with two lines connecting to downtown Salt Lake City, the University of Utah and other points throughout the valley. You can also catch a UTA bus to reach the Millcreek or Central Pointe Stations.
