★★★★★ 5.0 Jon · Jul 2024

This park is pretty small and is located on the corner of 500 east and 1700 south. This is one of those corner parks. You meet up with your friends when you go jogging or for coffee in the park without it being real busy or a small picnic, perhaps after a small walk. If you live in the area or want a destination for when you go on a walk I would recommend first encampment park. It's not big, nearby parking is tough, but you know, it's pretty, and it's a lot better than just some building on the corner to me.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Bric Anderson · Aug 2018

Nice little park in a nice little area. It has a few benches and places to lay on the grass. Plenary of shade as well. They have a few flower patches that get a lot of insect life which is fun to catch and snap some photos of. They do seem to have a lot of homeless people hanging around but they try and hid so they stay out of the way. Defiantly a cool spot to check out if you are on a walk but nothing to make a special trip for.

★★★★★ 5.0 Justin Hansen · Aug 2024

Not much to it but still beautiful. A reminder of how Salt Lake City all began. Beautifully maintained and a quiet spot to reflect. Make sure you walk a 1/2 block north to see the historical home mentioned on the plaque.

Very nice landscaping for such a small park. Historic location as well

★★★★☆ 4.0 Michelle Preece · Nov 2025

It's nice, when there's no trash. Homeless individuals seem to take it over at times
