40th Street Park is a nice little urban park in the center of Ogden. This colorful park isn’t vast and sprawling like its counterparts, but it is nicely nestled among the businesses. There isn’t a ton of space, but the green area is a nice little oasis that you can visit right next to the stores. The 40th Street Park also has a nice playground.
The first thing you’ll notice at 40th Street Park is the bright colors of the playground equipment. There are lots of lime greens and purples, with a few yellows and oranges. The equipment is nice, and in great shape when we visited. Our boys liked the variety of slides, both twisty and straight, as well as the climbing area. There are a few tall structures for climbing, but there are also some blocks right on the ground for toddlers to climb on and among. There is a little playground for toddlers, too.
Another thing the toddlers will enjoy is the scavenger hunt. This is a popular, fairly new activity at parks, and we enjoyed this one. To participate, go to the key and pick an object to look for. Then walk around the park and see if you can find it. This is super simple for littles, and gives them something constructive to do.
40th Street Park also has a few other amenities. There are restrooms at this park, and a few public pickleball courts that are in great shape. These seem to be a recent addition, and, in fact, the entire park looks updated. Mostly, this park is great for locals, but if you are in the area, this is a fun place to play, particularly for toddlers and those under 10!
