Lions Park — Attraction in Provo

This is a solid park. It's significantly larger and better kept than most, if not all, the other parks in Provo. It boasts a massive pavilion that would easily seat 300+, one smaller pavilion, and plenty of picnic tables scattered around the park, along the canal.

A cute canal cuts through the east side of the park, flanked by reeds, and sometimes visited by ducks. You have to walk across at one of Lions Park's 3 bridges to enter the park, which physically separates the park from the car parking lots.

2 parking lots grant access to the park, one nicely paved, curbed, and gardened. The other is kind of gravely and is not wheelchair friendly. If you live in a close neighborhood, you can walk in through the parking lots, a neighborhood sidewalk access point, and two stairways on the north and west sides of the park.

Beautifully, the entire west side of the park is slightly overgrown. There's a fence, but it's covered in creeper vines. Large, old trees lean over the fence and provide ample shade for so much of the walking path thatbcircles the park

Plenty of shade and seating, a baseball diamond, and a nice safe feeling are the highlights of this park.

We also enjoy weekly storytime over the summer, provided by Provo Library.

I'd love to see a bigger playset or an additional playset, considering the size of the park. There's also nowhere within walking distance where I could grab lunch and still keep an...

Kind of pretty, because you've got the hill's greenery on two sides, and a bridge over a stream, but it's otherwise mostly lawn and pavilions. It's commonly used for large events, considering the main pavillion seats at least 500 people and has at least one large barbecue, possibly two. They could have more garbage cans and parking. The backs of nearby houses are a bit of an eyesore. There are steep stairs behind the park going up to the top of the hill. I've seen folks use them for exercise. It's a relatively basic park, and well kept and green, and I think there's some form of playground, but the park's a bit hard to get to. There's no through street nearby, and it's not well marked from the main road, so you have to find one of the two streets ending in a parking lot. Having spent time at Paul Reams Wilderness Park on 5th N and Independence Avenue (basically 1600 W) with nature trails and ducks, as well as pavillions, my reaction to Lions Park is basically meh. It's mostly got lawn and a pavillion, if not parking, for large-ish events; think stake parties and weddings. I do like that it's off the beaten path a bit, though, and not in the middle of busy streets. Some folks run around it, but it's not really set up for that like others with paved running paths. I give it 4 stars because it's good enough, as parks go, and...

Great park. Nice pavilions. Lots of room to run and play. Playground looked well kept. Seems they're open to events with bounce houses. The roof on our pavilion had holes but when it started to rain I didn't notice and major leaking. The grass doesn't drain well in some areas. That's my biggest beef. I ran to catch a frisbee and ended up to my ankle in mud. But other than that- great park. Didn't notice a ton of bees or mosquitoes. There is a little stream/creek. So something to be aware of with children running around. I can't speak to the bathroom, I...
