Rockwood Furniture closed its doors in 1999 and Granite Furniture closed its Sugar House location in 2004, after more than 80 years of operation. Sugar House Prison, the first Utah state prison, was located in Sugar House during the 19th century and early 20th century. Salt Lake County is full of amazing parks, and we finally visited one of the county’s oldest parks this week. Sugar House Park has been around since the old prison was moved in the 1950’s, but it has a new playground and lots of other fun family activities. There are several bars and breweries and even a great distillery in the neighborhood. Its enclosed patio is decked out with multiple outdoor fire pits, camp chairs, coleman lanterns, and a camp food inspired menu.

The smell of gas is noticeable at Hidden Hollow Park and near 900 East. We noticed that there was a nice, big, grassy hill that would be perfect for sledding, so we are going to keep that in mind for the winter season. For more info about Sugar House park, visit the Salt Lake County Parks page.

It has a lot of climbing structures, which was great for my 8 year old. He enjoyed it because this park is really geared toward older kids. There is a small toddler playground, and some fun logs and rocks to climb on, but mostly, this park is for kids age 5-12. One of Sugar House’s best assets is its namesake park, which overlooks the Wasatch mountains’ soaring ridgelines.

Sugar House Park, considered a “crown jewel” among regional parks in the Salt Lake Valley, comprises 110.5 acres of lush, rolling green space in the Sugar House neighborhood. Once the site of a stone-walled territorial prison, the land of Sugar House Park now represents a farsighted conservation legacy. Volunteers and tax appropriations joined forces in the mid-twentieth century to turn the old abandoned prison property into a park. For corporate events, races, fundraisers, and wedding parties of 151 people or more. For a family gathering, picnic, BBQ, birthday party, or small private or company event for 150 people or less.

Equipment must be picked up from the park office on Friday and returned on Monday. Enhance your next gathering by renting or reserving Parks & Recreation meeting space, pavilions, equipment, and even a barn at our Wheeler Historic Farm. There is a small creek that runs through the park and we enjoyed walking along the creek in the shady trees. Sugar House Park also has some fun nature centered areas. There are huge grassy fields for picnics or sports activities.

Sugar House has a variety of locally owned businesses ready for you to explore. The former site of Utah's first state prison, Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County jointly acquired the land from the State of Utah in the 1950's following the prison move to the Point of the Mountain. In 1957, the park was established and the city and county proceeded to deed the property, in trust, to the Sugar House Park Authority and continue to maintain a partnership to provide park maintenance. Since the park’s formation in 1950s, Sugar House Park has been the crown jewel of the historic Sugar House area of Salt Lake City.
