We love finding new parks, and Island View Park in Centerville is really fun. This park has a very unique playground. There is also a short walking path, a pavilion, and restrooms. If you like sports, there are lighted pickleball and tennis courts. The park was in really good shape, too. Even the bathrooms were clean.
One thing I should mention is that when we visited Island View Park, we were super grateful for our adidas shoes. It had been raining, so Randy had on his waterproof hiking shoes, and our boys were wearing their favorite shoes for running around. We are fans of adidas because they offer so many shoes under $100. You can find something stylish, functional, or fun.
When we go to a park, it is usually for the playground, and this one did not disappoint. There are three levels, and each one had something unique. All the levels has a soft spongy floor, and the lowest had a small playground for toddlers. There was a cool surf simulator that we took turns falling off.
The second level had larger toys that our boys enjoyed, as they are little bigger. There was a really long climbing wall and a massive spinning toy. Kids climb in a massive ball, and you can spin it as fast as you want. All of the levels are connected by stairs, slides, and climbing activities. This made moving around the playground super fun.
If you continue to climb up to the third level, you’ll find the largest climbing toy of all. There are several slides and other things to do, and most of the courts and grass is at the top. One thing that we liked was that there were restrooms at the top and bottom, so there was one close by for the kids. There was also a shady pavilion at Island View Park.
The one drawback to this park was the levels. Though this worked okay for us, it would be difficult for children with additional needs or limited mobility to enjoy the entire area. Other than that, this was one of our favorite parks. The view is pretty nice, too! Find Island View Park in Centerville at 750 E 550 S, Centerville, UT.
