W & M Butterfield Park — Attraction in Herriman

This is a pretty good park. We went for a little league baseball game. The fields were well maintained and clearly labeled. They do it old school here, so home dugout is on the third base line, rather than the first base line. There is not much shade around the ball diamonds, so if you're going while it's hot out, be prepared to bake.
