Manila Creek Park — Attraction in Pleasant Grove

📅 Date of Visit: 6/26/2021

💬 OVERVIEW - 5.0 Came here on a Saturday to celebrate our daughter's friend's birthday.

🗺️ LOCATION - The Manila Creek Park is rather well hidden deep within American Fork, that we were only able to find through the use of Google Maps.

💲 PRICE - N/A There was no charge for coming to the park, but it is likely hidden within local taxes.

🏞️ PRODUCT/SERVICE - 5 I really enjoyed this park as there is a nice massive pond within it and a little beach to go with it.

📢 POINTERS/PERKS - N/A I'm sure there are some, but not sure what they'd be rather than if it is real hot, you may not want to come here as everyone else likely will be here. However, you may want to bring a swimsuit if you plan on wading in the water, or bring some water toys.

We generally catch panfish and stocked trout here. There are a few LM bass cruising the pond as well. The small, elevated impoundment at the east end is really shallow and weedy - stick to the main pond for...

We planned a family get together and wanted to rent a Pavilion at Manila Creek Park, due to a mix up on the Parks and Rec website we rented a Pavilion at Discovery (Manila) Park. The Parks and Rec were understanding of our mistake, and were able to credit us. We had our family get together at Manila Creek Pond and it was a super fun time. It is a small, clean and beautiful park with a really cool pond. The littles kiddos loved wading in the pond on a really nice beach area. The fishermen in the family were able to fish, which was great. We were able to use the small Pavilion and it worked out great. The parking and restrooms were good as well. I look forward to going back to this...
