Ammon Park — Attraction in Pocatello

We love this park! My kids call it 'the purple park' because of all the purple slides. It's never busy, probably because it's out of the way, and you also have to travel down a gravel drive to get to the parking area.

In addition to slides, there are swings, including a baby swing. There are stairs for younger children to climb up to the playset, and a number of other climbing components for older children. There are also monkey bars and a short zip line bar.

This park has huge grassy areas, sufficient large trees for shade, a nice small picnic shelter, and a drinking fountain (which is turned off during winter months, October through March).

The only complaints are that it should have a bathroom rather than a Porta Potty, and a paved drive the parking area. Other than...

One time I went to this park with my friends and some creepy stuff happened. We were all kinda standing around the swing set at around 11 maybe 12 at night on a totally still night, no wind, no clouds, nothing, when all of a sudden the second swing started moving. Only the second swing. The other thing was that it was moving way too much for it to have been a breeze even if it was windy, and if it was windy it would have moved all thw swings but no it was just the one. We also had some photos of weird glowing orbs hovering over a girls shoulder on the exact swing that started moving. Say what you want but it was scary. Also if youre going to look for the infamous shed, they took it out about a year...

This is a nice park! The hill is great for ice blocking, setting up a water slide, or other fun water activities. I bet it's great for sledding in the winter, too. You can pay to reserve the Pavillion, or you can hope that nobody's using it. There a nice kiddy park, a parking lot on the inside of the park, and port-a-potties. Also plenty of flat space for games/sports. It is a fairly popular park, so you may want to make sure it's free before planning...
