The park Clearfield
A Flow Bowl, a Combi Bowl, a Death Box and five lit playing surfaces on one site
Fisher Park, and the skate park behind the ball diamonds
Sixteen acres on the east side of Clearfield, listed by the city as Bernard F. Fisher Park: three lit baseball diamonds, two lit soccer fields, a playground, an electronic Neos playground, a basketball court with eight standards, a concession stand and restrooms. Behind them, a 14,000 square foot skate park with two bowls, a street section of rails and ledges, and lighting that runs until eleven. It is the park most of Clearfield actually uses, and the old community garden ground is set aside for an accessible playground.

The short answer
Yes, the skate park is worth the drive, and it is the reason most people come from outside the city. Fisher Park is sixteen acres on Clearfield's east side, listed by the city as Bernard F. Fisher Park. You get three lit baseball diamonds, two lit soccer fields, two playgrounds including an electronic Neos unit, a basketball court with eight standards, a concession stand, a walking path and restrooms, and then a full 14,000 square foot skate park with two bowls, named features and a street section. The park is open from five in the morning to midnight, and the skate park lights run until eleven. If a home near here is on your list, this is the amenity you are living next to, and one night a year it is also the city's fireworks ground.

The skate park
A 14,000 square foot skate park with named bowls and lights until eleven
The skate park is the part of Fisher Park that pulls riders in from other cities. It runs to 14,000 square feet, with two separate bowls, a Flow Bowl, a Love Seat, a Combi Bowl and a Death Box, plus a street section of rails and ledges. The bowls and the street course sit apart, so a bowl session and a street session can run at the same time without fighting over the same lines. It is a full sized park, not a corner of a parking lot with a rail bolted on.
The whole thing is lit, which makes it a year round facility rather than a summer one, and the lights run from five in the morning to eleven at night, an hour before the rest of the park closes at midnight. There is no fee, no booking and no session desk. It is a city park, free at the point of use, with restrooms, a concession stand and parking on the same ground as the diamonds and the fields. The hours are the city's and it can adjust them, so if you are planning a late ride, confirm the closing time first.
Getting there
Where it sits, and what to know before you go
Fisher Park sits east of State Street, on the same side of the city as the road out to Hill Air Force Base, and you reach it through ordinary residential streets rather than off an arterial. Parking is on site. The city lists the pavilion here under a combined Fisher and Aquatic Center heading, a reminder that this park and the municipal pool across town were funded together and have always read as one civic project.
Before you go
- The skate park closes at eleven, an hour before the rest of the park. That is the earlier of the two times, so plan around it.
- Three baseball diamonds and both soccer fields are lit, so organized evening play runs later here than at most parks in the county.
- The pavilion is bookable through the city for the warmer months. The city posts no fee, so ask when you reserve.
- On the Fourth of July the evening festival and the fireworks are both here, and any other plan for the park that day will not work.
The newest change
An accessible playground on the old community garden ground
The most recent change at the park is on the community garden ground. The city has said it is replacing an underused community garden here with an all abilities, accessible playground, listing ramps to reach the elevated play, swings built for a rider who needs support, and equipment placed so a wheelchair can get to it. That is a design standard rather than a slogan, and a household that needs it will know at a glance whether the specification fits. If it matters to you, ask the city for the equipment list and the timing before you make a trip that depends on it.
The other change here is older and financial. When Clearfield built its municipal aquatic center in the early 2000s, voters had turned down extra taxes, so the City Council funded the work with an eleven million dollar revenue bond, about nine million to the pool and gymnasium and about a million and a half to improvements at Fisher Park. The Deseret News reported it at the pool's opening in 2005. That single decision is why the pavilion sits under a combined Fisher and Aquatic Center heading, and why the two facilities have always felt like one program rather than two.
The old community garden ground is set aside for an accessible playground. Check the city's own news page for what is open there before a trip that depends on it.
One big night
The city's Fourth of July finishes on these sixteen acres
Clearfield runs a two week Fourth of July program, and it ends here. The evening festival and the fireworks both happen at Fisher Park, with the festival in the early evening and the fireworks after dark. Everything earlier in the program is somewhere else: the run and the movie night at Steed Park, the bridge painting at Center Street, the concert at the high school, the pool party at the aquatic center, and the parade that runs from City Hall up the base road. The park is the finish line.
That is worth knowing in both directions if you are looking at a home nearby. One evening a year this park holds the city's largest gathering and a fireworks display, with the traffic, parking and noise that come with it. The rest of the year it is a park with lit diamonds on it. Nobody who lives beside a fireworks site is surprised by it after the first summer, but if you have only seen the street on a quiet February afternoon, it is fair to know it is coming. Take next year's exact date and times from the city's own calendar closer to the day.
Where it sits among the city's parks
For scale, Clearfield lists seventeen named parks, all open five in the morning to midnight. The largest single park is Jesse D. Barlow at 17 acres, which also holds the enclosed Clearfield Dog Park. Fisher Park at 16 acres is next, and the two Steed parks run 11.5 acres each with the pond, the pickleball and the sand volleyball that Fisher does not have. What sets Fisher apart in that list is the skate park and the Fourth of July, and that is the honest reason to point someone here rather than to one of the others.
Living near the park
Five lit surfaces, a skate park until eleven, and one night in July
The practical picture for a home near Fisher Park is a busy, well lit, well used sixteen acres. Three lit baseball diamonds and two lit soccer fields mean organized play into the evening through the season, which is a real amenity if someone in the house plays and a real consideration if nobody does. The skate park is lit until eleven. The concession stand tells you the diamonds get used properly rather than once a month. This is not a quiet green square, and that is worth seeing before you decide.
The counterweight is how well equipped it is for a park sitting inside a residential grid. Two playgrounds including an electronic one, a basketball court with eight standards, restrooms, a bookable pavilion, a walking path and a full skate park is a set of facilities that in a lot of Utah cities would be split across three sites. The accessible playground set for the garden ground adds to it in a direction municipal parks have often been weak on.
The park carries a name worth one line here. The city prints it in full as Bernard F. Fisher Park, and the same name sits on the state highway across town. The park was dedicated in August 1967, shortly after Bernard Fisher received the Medal of Honor. The man, the medal and the 1997 highway naming all belong to one story, and I tell it once, on the Bernard Fisher Highway page, rather than twice at two lengths.
The last piece of advice is the same as for any park with lights and a fireworks night: see it twice. Once on a summer evening when the diamonds are lit and the skate park is busy, and once on an ordinary weekday morning. The difference between those two visits is the real amenity, and it is also the real cost of the address. The Clearfield or Layton page carries the rest of what a home here asks of you.
