Valley Regional Park, and the four things on it.

It depends which authority you ask, and both figures are published. The City of Taylorsville lists it at 91.40 acres at 5100 South 2700 West. Salt Lake County, which owns and runs it, lists it at 89.86 acres with a mailing address of 5130 South 2700 West and classes it as a Class One regional park. The gap is what you would expect between a municipal parks table and a county asset register, and the operator's figure is the one to use.

Yes, an 18 hole course laid out across the open ground, free to play, with equipment rentable from the park office if you turn up without any. It is flat, open and legible, which makes it a good first course, and it is easily the best value two hours in this city. The one practical warning is that the fairways cross open parkland used for picnics and dog walking, so look for baskets before you settle on a rug at the weekend.

Yes. The Taylorsville Library stands on the park site and is a Salt Lake County Library branch, which means county opening hours and a county library card rather than a municipal one. The outdoor basketball complex, six hoops, sits immediately west of the library car park, which is a useful landmark if that is what you have come for. Check current hours with the county library rather than with the city or the park.

There is an outdoor pool on the site, and the Taylorsville Recreation Center, published by the county as the Taylorsville Fitness and Recreation Center at 4948 South 2700 West, is on the same ground. Pool information runs year round on 385-468-1732 even though the water itself is seasonal, so that is the number to call before planning a swim rather than assuming the pool follows the park's own opening.

No, and this is a common error. The county's own amenity list for this park records tennis as none, and the city's page repeats it, but several third party listings show courts anyway. Tennis in this city is at Southridge Park at 5051 South 4015 West in the south west, which has lighted courts, and there are courts at Millrace Park on the river. Take facilities from the operator's page rather than from an aggregated listing.

Yes, through Salt Lake County. The pavilion is covered and seats 130 at twelve eight foot wooden tables, which is a specific enough figure to plan against: a group larger than that will not fit under it. On a summer weekend it is generally spoken for, so book well ahead. The park itself is free to enter, so an unbooked gathering on the grass is perfectly possible if the shade is not essential.

A fenced four field softball complex used for high school and league play, an outdoor basketball complex of six hoops west of the library car park, one regulation sand volleyball court, horseshoe courts, an exercise track, an 18 hole disc golf course and large grassy areas. There is a playground with five slides and swings, and a covered reservable pavilion. There is no tennis on this site, which is worth repeating because listings often say otherwise.

The park is, including the disc golf. What is charged is a pool entry, a pavilion reservation, equipment hire and whatever the recreation centre asks for its own facilities. That split is the practical thing to hold on to: the outdoor sports and the open ground cost nothing, and the four buildings and structures on the site each have their own arrangements. The library, being a county branch, is free to walk into.

Here, at Valley Regional Park, for three days in late June. The 2026 festival ran on 25, 26 and 27 June with a parade, a petting zoo, carnival rides, food booths, concerts, a 5K and a fireworks finale, and free admission. For those three days the disc golf course, the softball complex and most of the open ground are the event footprint rather than a park, and parking around the site fills early on parade morning and fireworks night.
