- LMLior Mayran6 days ago5.0⭐️ Brigham Young Historic Park – Peaceful & Fascinating Stop! 🌿 While walking from City Creek Center toward the Utah State Capitol, I came across this small yet beautiful park — Brigham Young Historic Park. It’s a quiet and scenic spot with historical displays, a small water monument, and even a working wooden water wheel that looks like an old hydropower mill. ⚙️💧 Everything is well-maintained, fenced, and surrounded by greenery — perfect for a short walk, quick photo stop, or just relaxing in the shade. 🌳📸 Street parking is available nearby (paid, depending on space). 🚗 📍 Walking distance from City Creek Center – highly recommended for anyone exploring downtown Salt Lake City!
- DDDebra DuttonOct 7, 20255.0Lovely and interesting little park.
- SWScott WAug 23, 20255.0Nice park in the downtown area. You can learn a bit of history about Brigham Young and some of the ideals that became of the foundations for the Mormon work ethics. Nicely maintained.
- NGNathaniel GambleJul 29, 20255.0I initially thought this was a memorial park: a small piece of land set aside to remember a significant historical figure, but which won't necessarily have any perceivable connection to that person. Those kinds of memorials exist all through Denver. This park, however, is part of the larger plot of land Brigham Young owned during his life. In fact, it was cool to find out that some of the stone walls surrounding the park are part of the original stone fencing Brigham Young errected around his property. There's even a little stone stage with side steps for small concerts or oratory events to be held! If you're looking for a historically important piece of land that also provides a quiet place to momentarily get away from the big city feel of Salt Lake City, this is a great spot. Be forewarned, however: the park has strict closing hours and, depending on the time of day, shade might be difficult to come by. But thankfully the park is free.
