The parks and the dog park, and the ninth park nobody can find.

The city names eight and counts nine. Its parks page opens with the phrase nine unique parks and a variety of amenities, then heads eight entries: 40th Street Park, Burch Creek Park, Club Heights Park, Friendship Park, Glassmann Park, Madison Park, Meadows Park and Nature Park. A ninth name, Ferrell, appears exactly once, inside the sentence listing which parks cannot be reserved, with no entry, no address and no amenities anywhere on the page, and no Weber County parcel carries a Ferrell subdivision name. This companion prints eight, notes the city's own nine, and does not invent a location for the ninth.

At Club Heights Park, and it is the only one in the city. The county assessor gives the park's address as 4101 S Palmer Dr on parcel 060190012 of 8.8 acres, while the city's own parks page prints 410 Palmer Drive. The city's rules for the dog park are that it is open from April to December, weather permitting, that all breeds and sizes are welcome, that the owner stays with the dog, that dogs must be current on their immunisations and that owners clean up. Off lead is prohibited in every other South Ogden park, which the city states in its sitewide rules.

From 15 April to 15 October, eight in the morning until eight at night, and closed outside those dates. That single sentence covers the drinking fountains too and it is the most useful practical line on the whole city parks page, because it applies across the system rather than park by park. It is a different window from the dog park at Club Heights, which runs April to December, weather permitting, and a different window again from the splash pad at Nature Park, whose published season is Memorial Day to Labor Day and which is closed for repairs as of 22 August 2026.

The city charges $75 for a city resident and $100 for a nonresident, with $25 returned in each case if the pavilion is left clean. Reservations run from 15 April to 15 October, eight in the morning until nine at night, and a reservation covers private use of the pavilion only, because the restrooms and the other amenities stay public. Not every park can be booked. The city's exclusion sentence rules out Nature Park and its splash pad, Burch Creek Park, Glasmann, Ferrell, Meadows and Madison, which leaves 40th Street Park, Friendship Park and Club Heights Park as the three that take reservations.

At 40th Street Park, which sits at 40th Street and Adams Avenue immediately west of the South Ogden City Building. The same park carries a pavilion with thirty tables, restrooms, a children's playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, the city's Veterans Memorial and what the city calls ample parking. The city posts its own notice that skating, biking, roller-blading and skateboarding are high risk recreational activities with inherent risks of injury. It also quotes a commercial skate directory's superlative about the design of the park, which is an aggregator opinion on a government page and is not repeated here.

At 40th Street Park, on the south side, just south of the tennis courts, in the city's own words. The detail worth knowing is how it works rather than where it is: South Ogden City says names are added to the memorial only once a year, at a time set by city administration, typically in October. That makes it an annual administrative process rather than an open register, so anybody with a name to add knows both who decides and roughly when the window falls. The city publishes no application form or contact specific to the memorial, so the route is the city switchboard on 801-622-2700.

Nobody can say, and this companion prints none. South Ogden City's parks page gives 5774 S 1900 East. The Weber County assessor's roll returns no parcel at that address anywhere, and the only 5774 S 1900 in the county is 5774 S 1900 West, which is in Roy. A residential parcel in a subdivision called The Meadows does exist inside South Ogden further north on the same line. The park is also mid rebuild: the city says a first phase of a new parking area, a restroom building and supporting infrastructure is in design under a Weber County RAMP award, with no completion date published.

Only within limits the city has written down. South Ogden's sitewide park rules bar motorised vehicles from lawn areas except motorised wheelchairs, and the city has extended that explicitly to electric bicycles and electric motorcycles. Electric motorcycles are barred from every park and open space in the city, including trails, sidewalks and parking lots. Electric bicycle use on trails or sidewalks must follow state code, and the city has published its own summary of that law: helmets for riders under 21 on public roads, an adult with any rider aged eight to fourteen, nobody under eight operating one, and nobody under sixteen on a class 3 machine.

Friendship Park, on 11.12 acres on the 5500 South line. The city lists three baseball fields, a soccer field, a football field, tennis courts, a large pavilion with thirty tables, restrooms, modern playgrounds with swings, a paved walking path, shaded picnic areas and open green space. It is the city's main sports ground and also its festival ground, which is why it is fenced with entry gates for one Saturday in June. Club Heights Park carries the only baseball diamond the city describes as lit, so evening play concentrates there and daytime play at Friendship.
