Thirteen of them North Ogden
Thirteen parks with published acreages, four sledding hills, one water park behind a gate and a pond under construction
Thirteen parks and the one you have to pay for.
North Ogden publishes its parks properly: thirteen of them, each with an address, an acreage and an amenity line, on the city's own page. The list settles the things people usually get wrong. The largest is Lakeview Park at 24.3 acres, not the civic park everybody names. The four lighted pickleball courts are at Lomond View Park and nowhere else. Four parks list a sledding hill, which is the winter answer no listings site carries. And there is no splash pad in any park: the city's is inside the aquatic centre at 2480 North 200 East, behind an admission gate, open 23 May to 7 September in 2026 and closed on Sundays.
My licence and my daily work sit three hundred miles south of this bench, in Iron and Washington counties, so these pages are researched rather than lived. What is on them was taken where it is issued: North Ogden City's own parks, projects, water, police, schools and events pages, the Weber County Road Department and the county surveyor's road index, Forest Service trail records and a standing order out of the Ogden Ranger District, the state transportation department's Ogden Valley road notices, the Bonneville Shoreline Trail Committee and the Trails Foundation of Northern Utah, the state board of education's October enrollment file, the county library system, the burial district, the fire district, the transit authority's route page, and the U.S. Census Bureau's address geocoder. Every figure carries the day it was read. A Weber and Morgan partner agent takes the ground level work.
The short answer
North Ogden lists thirteen parks on its own parks page, each with an address, an acreage and an amenity line, and the list settles three things people usually get wrong. The largest is Lakeview Park at 3550 North 350 East, 24.3 acres, not the civic park everybody names. The four lighted pickleball courts are at Lomond View Park, 220 East Elberta Drive, built in June 2024. And there is no splash pad in any park: the city's splash pad is inside the North Shore Aquatic Center at 2480 North 200 East, behind an admission gate, which opened 23 May and closes 7 September in 2026 and is shut on Sundays. Four parks list a sledding hill, which is the winter answer nobody publishes. Checked 21 August 2026.
The live question
Thirteen parks in seven and a half square miles, so which one do you actually want?
It depends entirely on what you came for, and the useful thing is that the city publishes enough to answer it without guessing. Sledding: four parks list a sledding hill on the city's own amenity lines, and they are North Ogden's Barker Park at 2375 Fruitland Drive, Lomond View at 220 East Elberta Drive, Mountain View at 875 East 3300 North and Wadman at 2625 North 1050 East. That is a real winter answer for a city that gets real snow, and it appears on no listings site. Pickleball: four lighted courts with benches, at Lomond View Park, and nowhere else in the city.
Size: the largest park is Lakeview at 3550 North 350 East, 24.3 acres, whose amenity line reads nature walking trails, access to canal trail, and the canal trail is not named on the city's page. Second is Orton, also called Green Acres, at 2050 North 575 East, 10.2 acres. The civic park everybody names, at 2375 Fruitland Drive, is 7.5 acres and joint fifth on acreage with Wadman, which is not a criticism of it: it is the one with the amphitheatre in it and it has its own page here for that reason.
Oddities, which is where a city's parks list stops being interchangeable. Oaklawn Park at 1200 East 2500 North lists a hammock park and a beginner bike trail in the city's own words, alongside a regulation sized football field and a stream. McGriff Park at 2950 North 900 East lists a gaga ball pit. Bicentennial Park lists a veteran memorial wall, holiday lights and, in the city's own phrasing, a stump described as artisanal water, which turns out to be a named well that also appears on the city's own water page. Equestrian Park at 2675 North Mountain Road carries a disc golf course and an equestrian arena and sits a hundred feet from the city's trail door.
Water: this is the one where the assumption is usually wrong. None of the thirteen carries a splash pad. The splash pad is inside the paid gate at the aquatic centre, along with a large waterslide, two diving boards, a toy feature, a lazy river and a beach front in the city's own wording. Two of the parks list a stream and several list drinking fountains, but for a hot afternoon with small children the answer in this city is an admission ticket rather than a free park.
The thirteen
Every park the city lists, with the city's own acreage and the city's own amenity line.
Taken from the city's own parks page, read 21 August 2026. The acreages and the wording are the city's. Two things in this table are findings rather than data, and both are flagged in the row: one address that is not a valid address in this city, and a skate park that the city lists separately while giving it the address of the park it sits inside.
| Park | Address as the city prints it | Acres | What the city lists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lakeview Park | 3550 N 350 East | 24.3 | Nature walking trails, access to canal trail, benches. The largest park in the city and the canal trail is unnamed on the city's page |
| Orton, or Green Acres, Park | 2050 N 575 East | 10.2 | Soccer fields, a half mile walking track, playground, pavilion with electricity, picnic tables, benches, restroom, water fountains and a stream |
| Equestrian Park | 2675 North Mountain Road | 8.6 | Disc golf course, equestrian arena, pavilion, drinking fountain, electricity and restrooms. The city's only bench edge park |
| North Ogden Park | 2750 N 500 East | 8.4 | Basketball courts, baseball and little league fields, volleyball courts, skatepark, pavilions, restrooms, playgrounds, tennis courts, water fountains, lights, electricity, tables and benches |
| Barker Park, North Ogden | 2375 Fruitland Drive | 7.5 | Amphitheater, bowery with separate reservations for each, playground, sledding hill, benches, water fountains, restrooms, lights and a trail system |
| Wadman Park | 2625 North 1050 East | 7.5 | Restrooms, pavilion, playground, walking track, soccer fields, sledding hills, drinking fountains, and areas with electricity, tables and benches |
| Oaklawn Park | 1200 E 2500 North | 6.0 | Regulation size football field, two multi use softball fields, a hammock park, a beginner bike trail, uncovered picnic area, restrooms with water fountains, a stream and a playground |
| McGriff Park | 2950 N 900 East | 4.7 | Lighted pavilion with outlets, drinking fountains, walking track, playground, baseball field, soccer field, access to walking trail, charcoal grills, restrooms and a gaga ball pit |
| Mountain View Park | 875 E 3300 North | 4.4 | Full regulation sized soccer field, pavilion with attached restrooms, tables, lighting, water fountain, electrical outlets, sledding hills and lights |
| Lomond View Park | 220 E Elberta Drive | 3.2 | Pavilion with tables, grill, electricity and lighting, playground, four lighted pickleball courts with benches, regulation size softball field, restrooms, water fountains and sledding hills |
| Dog Park | 850 E 2600 North | 1.75 | Leash free inside a fenced detention basin, with waste stations and water available seasonally |
| Bicentennial Park | The city prints a street number that does not exist on this city's grid; see the note below | 1.2 | Benches, drinking fountain, a stump the city describes as artisanal water, picnic tables, a stream, a veteran memorial wall and holiday lights |
| Skate Park | 2750 North 500 East, inside North Ogden Park | Not stated | A variety of ramps, rails and bowls, for skaters, riders on small wheeled bikes and scooter riders. Listed as its own entry by the city |
North Ogden City's own parks page, read 21 August 2026, with the department at 505 E 2600 N on 801-737-0587. Bicentennial Park's address is printed by the city as a five digit street number in the North direction, which is not a valid address on this city's grid; the plain reading is a typographical error, no corrected value is printed here and the city is the body to ask. Acreages are the city's own figures and one of them is smaller than a state mapping layer gives for the same ground, which is recorded rather than reconciled.
The city's own parks list is neither complete nor entirely usable, and both problems are worth knowing before driving anywhere. One row on it carries a street number that does not exist on this city's grid, which no reader can navigate to and which this page will not guess a correction for. And at least one real, completed, named city park facility is missing from the list entirely: the Water Works Experience, a new park facility with a walking path, picnic tables and educational water features, completed on 30 June 2025 at a cost of 450,000 dollars according to the city's own projects page, appears nowhere on the parks page and its address is not published anywhere on the city's site. A five million dollar community pond currently under construction is in the same position. Use the parks list for the thirteen it names, and ring the parks department on 801-737-0587 for anything built in the last two years.
The pool
A city run outdoor water park with a lazy river in it, closed on Sundays and shut for the year on 7 September.
The North Shore Aquatic Center at 2480 North 200 East is the one thing this city runs behind a gate, and it is a genuine water park rather than a municipal pool. The city's own page for it, read 21 August 2026, lists a large waterslide, two diving boards, a toy feature, a splash pad, a lazy river and a beach front, with views of the peak and the mountains behind the city. It takes reservations for private events, both of the water park itself and of a bowery and tables. The telephone is (801) 782-9712 and it has its own email address at the city.
The name is a small geography lesson rather than a mistake. There is no lake here. North shore in this case describes the north end of the bench rather than a shoreline, and the aquatic centre sits at the north end of a city that itself sits at the north end of the Weber County bench. Anybody arriving expecting water frontage is arriving at the wrong reading of the name, which is a common enough confusion to be worth one sentence.
The season is the fact that governs everything else. In 2026 the city gives an opening date of May 23rd at 11:00 AM and a closing date of September 7, 2026, with holiday hours of 12:00 PM to 6:30 PM. Public swim runs Monday from 12:00 to 8:00, Tuesday to Thursday 12:00 to 6:00, Friday and Saturday 11:00 to 6:00, and the centre is closed on Sunday. Two of the city's own annual events use the site outside those hours: an evening at the pool during the festival, and Trunk o' Treat in the car park at Halloween.
| Day | Public swim, as the city publishes it | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 12:00 to 8:00 | The long day, and the only evening block in the week |
| Tuesday to Thursday | 12:00 to 6:00 | Six hour afternoons |
| Friday and Saturday | 11:00 to 6:00 | An hour earlier and the busiest pair |
| Sunday | Closed | The city publishes no Sunday hours at all |
| Public holidays | 12:00 PM to 6:30 PM | The city's own holiday block, half an hour longer than a weekday |
North Ogden City's own aquatic centre page, read 21 August 2026. The 2026 season opened on 23 May and closes on 7 September. Admission, in the city's own figures with tax included: ages 3 and under free with a swim diaper, ages 4 to 64 10.00 dollars, 65 and over 6.50 dollars, groups of ten or more 9.00 dollars each, and a season pass at 120.00 dollars per person. The page carries no effective date for the fee table, so treat every figure as posted rather than fixed and confirm at the gate.
The details
Getting there
The centre sits at the north end of the city off 200 East, half a mile from city hall, with its own car park which the city also names as the venue for its Halloween event. It is the city's only water facility of any kind: none of the thirteen parks carries a splash pad, so an afternoon in water here is a ticketed afternoon rather than a free one.
Before you go
- The season is short and the closing date is published: 7 September in 2026, after which the city has no open water facility at all.
- Sunday is closed, which catches out visitors used to a weekend pool.
- The fee table carries no effective date, so confirm at the gate rather than planning against a figure found anywhere else.
- Private hire of the water park and of the bowery and tables is offered by the city, and the number for both is (801) 782-9712.
What is being built
A five million dollar pond, a new park nobody has listed, and three playgrounds replaced in two years.
The city's own projects page, read 21 August 2026, is the most useful document about this city's parks that is not the parks list, because it carries the things the parks list has not caught up with. The headline is the Community Pond Project: in the city's own description, a relocation of the 2700 N stormwater detention basin with the intention of creating a beautiful new community pond, with a walking path and a modern playground and a capacity of 42 acre feet, running Spring 2026 to Fall 2026 at a cost of 5 million dollars. It is the biggest civic project in the city right now and it is running through the year this page was written, which is why it is dated rather than described in the past tense.
The second is the one that should already be on the parks list and is not. The Water Works Experience, in the city's words a new park facility with a walking path, picnic tables and educational water experiences, plus a trail connection and a safer road crossing, next to the commercial district, was completed on 30 June 2025 at a cost of 450,000 dollars. No address for it appears anywhere on the city's site. It is on no aggregator this pass could find. A brand new named city park facility that is invisible on both the city's own parks page and every third party listing is an unusual thing to be able to report, and the parks department number is the way to locate it.
The rest is steady municipal renewal and it is worth having as a pattern rather than a list. A playground replacement at Mountain View Park, 150,000 dollars, winter 2025 to June 2026. A playground replacement at Orton Park, 200,000 dollars, completed July 2025. Four pickleball courts and a replacement playground at Lomond View Park with the lot resurfaced, completed June 2024. Sidewalk replacement for condition, accessibility and connectivity through the 2025 to 2026 financial year. Three playgrounds and a court complex inside two years, in a city of twenty one thousand.

The well with a name, and why it is on two different city pages
Bicentennial Park's amenity line includes a phrase that reads like a typographical accident and is not one: a stump described as artisanal water. The city's own water page carries a page for the Bi-Centennial Well, which it calls The Stump. So the odd item in the park is a named municipal well, and the park was built around it, or beside it, or over it, which the city does not say.
It is a small thing and it is the kind of small thing worth chasing, because it is the only named water source the city publishes at all. The water page says the city maintains wells and reservoirs, names this one, and puts the actual source list inside a water quality report published as a document rather than as a page. No city page read in this pass says the city's culinary water comes from any canyon, and this companion does not connect the canyon to the tap.
Living with it
Thirteen parks, one pool, four sledding hills, and none of them interchangeable.
For a household, the useful way to read a thirteen park list in a city of seven and a half square miles is as a map of walking distances rather than as an inventory. Every one of them is within a mile and a half of city hall in a straight line, several are within half a mile of each other, and the difference between them is not size but function: the sports fields are at four of them, the sledding hills at four, the only pickleball at one, the only skate park at one, the only disc golf and horse arena at one, and the only water behind a gate half a mile north. Which of those is at the end of your street is a fair thing to weigh before an offer, and it is answerable from the city's own page.
The winter half of that is the part nobody publishes and it is worth repeating: four parks list a sledding hill on the city's own amenity lines. In a city that sits at the foot of a mountain and catches real snow, that is a more useful fact than any summer amenity, and it is on no listings site anywhere. The other winter fact is subtraction: the pool closes on 7 September in 2026 and the city then has no open water facility of any kind until the following May, which is a long stretch and worth knowing if a pool is part of what you are buying.
What is genuinely in motion here is the last thing to hold. A pond is being built this year, a new park facility exists that the city has not listed, three playgrounds have been replaced in two years and the largest civic park is at the community feedback stage of a redesign. A parks system that changes this fast is a good problem, and it is also the reason every figure on this page carries the day it was read. The civic page covers who to ring for each of it, and the practical page covers what an address here asks of a household.
Four sledding hills, one skate park, one horse arena, one gaga ball pit and a hammock park. A parks list stops being a list the moment somebody writes down what is actually in each one.

The parks, answered.
Thirteen on the city's own parks page, read 21 August 2026, each with an address, an acreage and an amenity line. The largest is Lakeview Park at 3550 North 350 East, 24.3 acres, whose amenity line reads nature walking trails, access to canal trail, with the canal trail unnamed on the city's page. Second is Orton, also called Green Acres, at 2050 North 575 East, 10.2 acres. Barker Park at 2375 Fruitland Drive, the civic anchor with the amphitheatre in it, is 7.5 acres and joint fifth on acreage.
Four parks list a sledding hill on the city's own amenity lines: Barker Park at 2375 Fruitland Drive, Lomond View Park at 220 East Elberta Drive, Mountain View Park at 875 East 3300 North and Wadman Park at 2625 North 1050 East. Two of those, Wadman and Mountain View, use the plural. That is the city's own published answer and it appears on no listings site, which makes it one of the more useful things on this page for anybody moving here in autumn.
At Lomond View Park, 220 East Elberta Drive, and nowhere else in the city. The city lists four pickleball courts with lighting and benches there, and its own projects page records them as a capital project completed in June 2024 alongside a replacement playground and a resurfaced car park. The park is 3.2 acres on the city's own figure and also carries a pavilion with tables, a grill, electricity and lighting, a regulation size softball field, restrooms, water fountains and sledding hills.
Not in any park. None of the thirteen parks on the city's own list carries one. The splash pad is inside the North Shore Aquatic Center at 2480 North 200 East, which is the city's outdoor water park and charges admission, and it sits alongside a large waterslide, two diving boards, a toy feature, a lazy river and a beach front in the city's own wording. Two parks list a stream and several list drinking fountains, but for water play the answer in this city is a ticket.
In 2026 it opened on May 23rd at 11:00 AM and closes on September 7, 2026. Public swim runs Monday 12:00 to 8:00, Tuesday to Thursday 12:00 to 6:00, Friday and Saturday 11:00 to 6:00, and it is closed on Sunday. Public holiday hours are 12:00 PM to 6:30 PM. Those are the city's own published figures read on 21 August 2026, and after the September closing date the city has no open water facility of any kind until the following season.
The city's own figures, tax included, read 21 August 2026: ages 3 and under free with a swim diaper, ages 4 to 64 10.00 dollars, seniors 65 and over 6.50 dollars, groups of ten or more 9.00 dollars each, and a season pass at 120.00 dollars per person. The page carries no effective date for the fee table, so treat every figure as posted rather than fixed and confirm at the gate. The city also offers private hire of the water park and of a bowery and tables, on (801) 782-9712.
The largest item is the Community Pond Project, which the city describes as a relocation of the 2700 N stormwater detention basin with the intention of creating a beautiful new community pond, with a walking path, a modern playground and a capacity of 42 acre feet, running Spring 2026 to Fall 2026 at a cost of 5 million dollars. A 150,000 dollar playground replacement at Mountain View Park was scheduled from winter 2025 to June 2026. Separately, the city is master planning Barker Park at 2375 Fruitland Drive with a consultant, including a relocated dog park.
A new city park facility with a walking path, picnic tables and educational water features, plus a trail connection and a safer road crossing, described by the city as next to the commercial district and recorded on the city's own projects page as completed on 30 June 2025 at a cost of 450,000 dollars. It does not appear on the city's own parks page and no address for it is published anywhere on the city's site, which makes it one of the odder findings in this companion. The parks department on 801-737-0587 is the route to locating it.
Both, and both are unusual entries. The Dog Park at 850 East 2600 North is 1.75 acres, leash free inside a fenced detention basin, with waste stations and water available seasonally, and the city's live master plan for Barker Park at 2375 Fruitland Drive lists a relocated dog park among the features under consideration. The Skate Park is listed by the city as its own entry with a variety of ramps, rails and bowls, but the address the city gives for it, 2750 North 500 East, is North Ogden Park's, because it sits inside it.
Thirteen parks in seven and a half square miles and the one at the end of your street is not the same as the next one.
This is a small city with an unusually well documented parks system, and that makes one part of a house search easier than usual. Which park is walkable from the address, because they are half a mile apart and none of them does everything. Whether a sledding hill matters to you, because four of the thirteen have one and the other nine do not. Whether the season of the pool matters, because it is short and its closing date is published. What the 2700 North corridor looks like after the pond is finished, because that is a 2026 project rather than a plan. And whether the civic park's redesign changes what is at the end of the street you are weighing. Tell me which streets you are looking at and I will introduce you to a Weber and Morgan partner agent who works this bench, and stay on the file for the financing side.
