Did you know that there’s an 80-acre slice of paradise right in Salt Lake City? It’s a place where people go to spend time with family, relax, play and exercise. It’s where community comes together, school children gather for field trips and Utahns of all ages go to enjoy a bit of outdoor paradise, year round. It’s even listed on the National Register of Historic Places!

Liberty park was created in 1881, and designed to be similar to New York City's Central Park.
