Popperton Park — Attraction in Salt Lake City

We wanted a place to wait out my husband's outpatient procedure, so we went looking for this very tucked away park and well, not a whole lot to do ultimately, especially since the slide was metal 😬 and already blistering hot at 10am on a July morning, no surprise.
