Burch Creek Park in Ogden is an amazing, sprawling park situated next to Burch Creek Elementary School. This park has many features including pickleball courts, and playground equipment that make it a real winner for families. There are actual two play areas, with a short walk between. There is a ton to do at this park.
First Play Area
When we arrived at Burch Creek Park, our boys made a dash for the large play area. This part of the park has pretty good shade because it has shade sails. We also like this area because it is safest for little kids, and there is plenty to do. The playground is built to look more natural with wood. We enjoyed the spinning toys and the small climbing area. There aren’t a lot of slides in this portion of the park, but there are swings.
Next to this area there are restrooms and a few pickleball courts. The courts are open to the public and are in great condition. There is also a water feature. When we visited in October, the feature was turned off, but it looked like a ton of fun. There are little troughs where you can stop the water into a reservoir, or allow it to flow through. This spot would be a great way to beat the summer heat.
Second Play Area
Don’t forget to walk up the path toward the east, as the really big park toys are up the hill. These toys are better for bigger kids. There is a massive metal slide that goes really fast. There is also a suspension bridge and a few towering climbing toys. All of the toys are connected by different challenges, and you will need big legs to complete them. This part of Burch Creek Park has very tall climbing toys, so please be careful if littles head this direction.
We like that they had an area for littles and an area that older kids would like. The fact that the areas were separated by a bit of distance was good, too. (They are about 75 yards apart.)
This park is really amazing! Burch Creek Park in Ogden has two awesome playgrounds, plus a lot of other amenities. We spent a long time playing and kids of all ages can enjoy this park. The ground in both areas is spongy, but great for wheels, and there is no loose rubber or wood chips. This park is really great for all ages!
