Splash Pad
Located on the site of the former Wardle farm in Bluffdale, Utah, the new regional park is an award-winning attraction. It features a Rocky Mountain nature theme with waterfalls, streams to jump through, larger ponds, and an innovative splash pad that uses geysers and a waterfall to stimulate children.
The one-of-a-kind design includes a water conservation system that stores 325,000 gallons of water per day in underground tanks before drawing it out for irrigation. It is an environmentally conscious approach that received the 2017 Utah Recreation and Parks Association Innovation of the Year award.
Kids of all ages will love the playground, which is designed to accommodate all abilities. It features a 25-foot tall watchtower, multiple enclosed slides, and an assortment of swings. There are also a variety of musical touch activities.
Climbing Walls
Located in Bluffdale Utah, this regional park is a must-visit. It boasts a splash pad with geysers and a waterfall, a three-quarter-mile loop walking path, 16 competition pickleball courts, and an impressively sized playground.
The park also boasts a large sculpted retaining wall that mimics a local quartzite rock formation. In addition to the aforementioned sculpted cairn, the real highlight of the park is a 3D interactive water play structure designed by ID Sculpture and Playspace Designs. The best part is that kids are encouraged to interact with the play structure. Other highlights include a tree-shaped rock balancing beam, a rock-shaped water feature, and a massive pond that will make your heart pump. It is no secret that ID Sculpture loves climbing so when given the opportunity to design a park, we had to take it up a notch. The name of the game is to make the park an engaging place for children of all ages to learn and grow. Explore more!
Basketball Courts
Wardle Fields Regional Park Bluffdale UT is a great place for kids to play basketball. It has a big splash pad, basketball courts, pickleball courts, and open fields for baseball, soccer, and football.
Wardle Fields is a Rocky Mountain nature-themed park and the first of three new regional parks to be built in Salt Lake County with funds from a $47 million park bond approved by voters in 2012. The property once belonged to Charles Wardle, who used it for farming before selling it to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2008.
Phase 1 of the park, which covers 41 acres, features a spacious playground, a splash pad with geysers and a waterfall, a three-quarter-mile walking path, 16 competition pickleball courts, two multipurpose sports fields, and two large pavilions. It also boasts two racing zip lines, a 300-ft. artificial bouldering wall, a 20-ft. net-climbing pyramid, and a 25-ft. fire watch tower equipped with slides.
Pickleball Courts
Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in America, with participation jumping more than 21% between 2015 and 2020. The sport blends aspects of badminton, tennis, and ping-pong. It’s become a popular option for many celebrities, including Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
Wardle Fields Regional Park in Bluffdale UT features 16 competition pickleball courts. It also has two multipurpose sports fields, two large pavilions, and a full-size basketball court.
Salt Lake County is considering a $5 million plan that would build more than 50 courts for national pickleball tournaments if a state lawmaker gets his way. It could get Utah into the forefront of this rapidly growing sport, but some leaders worry about community impacts.
The plan was proposed by Senator Daniel McCay, R-Riverton. The lawmaker said Utah is falling behind other states, such as Florida and Arizona, in developing venues that can stage major pickleball events. Find out more!
