Creekside Park — Attraction in Bountiful

This was my first time at this park. It was ok. My kids enjoyed it. There are benches and covered picinic tables. Which is a good thing because part of the park is down a pretty steep slope. I have bad knees which were hurting that day so I just stayed up top and watch my kids. It was kind of crowded. The playground toys that they do have are nice but there aren't very many so if it would have been any more crowded our visit here would have been interesting. Also while I was watching my kids play I noticed that on one of the playground toys a couple kids kept getting hurt. It's the toy that is metal, round and has bars and a couple places to sit. Kind of like a merry go round. They have these bars that lift up for wheelchairs I'm assuming and then go back down. I'm not sure what happened but one kid was standing behind it, holding the bar up I think. He kind of lost his balance, the bar fell and he smacked his chin on top of the bar hard enough that his mouth was bleeding. A couple other kids some how had their fingers smashed in it. But there is also grass areas to put a blanket down and have a picnic or the kids to play catch...

7/8/20 - Pretty cool park. Definitely meant for older kids (sign says 5-12) but little kids can play too. They have four swings, two are normal and two are baby. Huge play structure. The only thing missing is monkey bars. The slides are awesome but get very hot, as do the swings. It's right next to the creek so that's a nice little cool down. The creek is just past the park where the bridge is. It's shallow so even little kids can easily play in it. Plenty of partially shaded grass (dogs allowed on a leash) and some shaded picnic benches. The water feature isn't on right now, so that was a bummer. It has bathrooms, but I didn't go in so I can't tell you if they're maintained well or not, but people were using them and I didn't hear any complaints. It looks like it may be right next to a trail too. The parking lot can fill up pretty fast cuz it's not too big, but I believe street parking it allowed. There were no signs saying not to and people were doing it since the...
