Big Cottonwood Regional Park updated their playground and it is fantastic. There are a variety of different play areas, and this park is great for a wide range of ages. This park also has a lot of shade right around the playground, which is amazing.
The theme of the Big Cottonwood Regional Park playground is bugs, and we loved all of flowers and bugs incorporated throughout play structures. The playground has large towers with a giant slide coming down one side, and the other tower is a big climbing area. On the far side of the towers is a climbing area. Children can climb on top of the spiral area and also play on different toys underneath. It is a unique feature that many parks don’t have.
There is also an area for toddlers to play. A cute ladybug and little house with a small slide is just right for preschoolers. There is a small slide, and some little stepping areas, too. This park also has a few swings. The entire playground flooring is the soft cushiony floor that many parks have now.
One thing that I love about Big Cottonwood Regional Park are the mature shade trees. This park has a lot of shade in the summer because the trees are right around the playground. There are also benches around the park for parents to watch their kids play.
This park has large grassy areas, baseball fields, pavilions, and a walking path through the property. There are also restrooms available. We are adding it to our Best Parks in Salt Lake County list.
