Washington Wheels Park is an amazing park in Washington, Utah, that has a little a bit of everything for everyone. Whether your kids enjoy biking, skateboarding, playgrounds, or splash pads, Washington Wheels Park has you covered. This park is huge and everyone in the family will enjoy themselves. This is a great addition to the Best Parks in St. George area.
Wheels
The “wheels” in Washington Wheels Park is what makes this park stand out. The focus of the park is on bikes and skateboards, and these are the best parks we’ve seen in Utah. There is a huge area for skateboarders. This has a shallow bowl with all kinds of angles and rails to maximize your ability to do tricks. We saw several big folks riding their boards up and down the walls in this section.
There are also three opportunities for bikers. The first is a small pump track venue for kids. This consisted of hills, bumps, small ramps, and big curves. We saw kids between 6-15 on this track, but all are welcome. There was even a remote-controlled car being driven on this path, steering clear of the bikes, but enjoying the space with them.
Also for bikers, there was a deep pit. This one was probably 12 feet down with angles, walls, drops, and other obstacles. It’s the kind of pit that big bikers drop into, and come flying out of as they spin the bike or leap over the handlebars. This reminded us of something you’d see at the Olympics or X-Games. It can also be used for skateboarding.
Then there was the Big Track! Bikers would take their dirt bike to the top of the drop in (a rail helped you push your bike up the stairs) and ride steeply down a dirt trail. This included jumps of all different sizes, with ramps and hills made of dirt for the BMX riders. There were also 3 levels, so medium-sized kids to adult kids could enjoy this high-level track. If you are a biker, you definitely have to check out Washington Wheels Park.
Playground
We aren’t big bikers or boarders, but we enjoyed the park, too. That’s because there is a nice, modern playground. There are a lot of places to climb, multiple slides, and several types of swings. All of these are new and well-maintained. The playground is designed for all-abilities, so it has some toys for all to access, including musical toys and a spinner. Our boys loved the tall walkway between towers. There are a few shade sails over areas of the park and swings, but not over the entire playground.
Splash Pad
The water area doesn’t have a ton of sprayers, but there is water circulating along a river like path. It’s only about 6 inches deep at the deepest points, but this was very popular with kids of all sizes because of the southern Utah heat. There are also some fun waterfall fountains that are great for getting soaked. We made sure to take off our shoes and splash through the water to cool off, too.
Challenge Course
Next to the playground is a challenge course. There are two different challenges. One is an obstacle course where you can time yourself as you race through different challenges like climbing walls or swings. The other challenge is a racetrack where two people can race head to head. My boys love doing this over and over again.
