Art Dye Park — Attraction in American Fork

East side of the park: fields between the north and south play features, berry bushes on the sides, disc golf course (I believe the holes have recently been repositioned). South end: playground, picnic table, bathrooms, water fountain. North end: playground, dog park, bike trail to Highland Glen Park, bathrooms, water fountain, benches.

West section: multi-field baseball setup with bleachers, bathrooms, drinking fountains, and pickleball courts. Sidewalks there have been used for chalk art events in the past, though those may have been moved to the Harrington Center; I'm not sure. I believe this section was completed and/or remodeled in the past five years.

The parking they added on the west side is very nice; you can reach it both from the roundabout and from the north end of the main parking lot on the east side. The northwest end of the new parking lot butts up against the golf course and there's even a little gap in the fence you can use if you need to access it from that end (or if golfers need to come out from that end to rescue a ball or whatever).

South section: more fields with drainage slopes.

The various fields In the east and south sections are used for rec center soccer in the spring (color-coded using flags so you can find your group), Fork Fest music events in early summer, Steel Days fair/foam/splash/bounce house/drone show stuff in mid July, other events, and general public use like flying kites in the spring, taking family pictures, or just running around.

There's a roundabout/ traffic circle in the center of these three different park areas and parking availability in three sections as well, though for larger events cars tend to drift down the main neighborhood roads.

There are also bike racks, so people who bike over can have a place to lock up (and you don't get stuck in traffic leaving a big event). I believe these are located somewhere near the pickleball section.

This year the park was renamed to include Mary, Art's wife.

I think Art Dye is a hidden treasure in American Fork, Utah that often goes unnoticed. By the entrance it looks like a piddly park, but if you drive back into the park you realize this park is huge. Last year they hosted the American Fork days concert here and fireworks and it was a huge with thousands of people attending. The park has the normal soccer fields, baseball fields, playgrounds, tennis courts, but it is the unique things that really are cool. Hidden in the trees around the east side of the park boasts one of the best Disc Golf Courses in the State. People love this course for it is such a great challenge and uniqueness. Each station is well marked and lets you know where you need to get your disc to, what the par for the course is, and a good map. The hole is a cage like structure you need to get your Frisbee disc into. It is such a great family activity. Needing green time, this is a great idea for you and your kiddos! Park also has a new pickle-ball court. How cool is that! Also if you get there early in the morning the chances of watching a hot air balloon launch is quite high, for this is a favorite spot for launching. There are 18 holes on his course. You don't have to do them all, just grab your Frisbee and try out a few. If you run across a pro Disc Golf player you will notice they carry a sling bag across their shoulder with a few different type of discs for different throws. Just like golfers with their bag of golf clubs there are disc used for different...

I’ve been to many dog parks in the West…this is my favorite dog park in Utah….about 5 acres fenced, mostly good dog owners, and a great walking path…..so well designed. I came again on a Saturday and was a little dismayed at the number of small children that were chasing dogs and parents that didn’t understand dog safety. One little boy had a big stick and was waving it at dogs and that’s always dangerous behavior but the parents didn’t understand it because they were new dog owners. Also, PLEASE don’t bring food or dog treats into dog parks….Food is a bad idea…. All of the fights that I have seen at this park were over food and protective . Lastly, the city has put in some great exercise equipment for the dogs, but little children jump on it and break it; parents seem clueless about their children, it’s a dog park…not a playground. They still don’t have running water in the park, which is an issue, bring a jug to share. There is a faucet, but it’s not working once they have yearround water. This will be a...
