Liberty Park

After we went to the zoo we went over to Liberty Park. They have a really fun water area there that's laid out like the Salt Lake canyons. Water runs down from each "canyon" (Big Cottonwood, Little Cottonwood, Parley's, Immigration, etc.) and eventually ends up in a big pond representing the Great Salt Lake. All the water is chlorinated so kids can play in it.

It was really fun to play in the water. Sebby loved it, because it was shallow enough for him to walk or crawl up and down the rivers, and we liked that we could wade or walk along beside him easily. They release all these plastic balls in the water, too, so you can watch them come down from the canyons into the lake. Abraham had a great time collecting the balls and sending them down various tributaries. So, if you're ever looking for something to do in Salt Lake, this is a great activity for a hot summer day! We recommend it.
