About Veterans Memorial Park/Wild West Jordan Playground

Veterans Memorial Park is a large, mixed-use, community park. It occupies 100 acres and includes pavilions, the West Jordan Rodeo Arena, tennis courts, baseball fields (both youth and league), a concrete badminton court, volleyball courts (both sand and concrete), basketball hoops, several playgrounds, the West Jordan Historical Museum, the Gene Fullmer Fitness & Rec Center, the West Jordan Outdoor Pool, the Sugar Factory Playhouse, a military service monument, and a peace garden.

The park pavilions can be reserved by calling West Jordan Public Works at the number listed above.

A big draw for kids is the park's Wild West Jordan Playground, the largest playground in Utah. The innovative play structure was built by 6,000 community volunteers over a ten-day period. The playground covers two-thirds of an acre and contains over 12,000 square feet of play surface. The fully-fenced playground is divided into a tot lot area for two to five year olds and a larger area for five to 12 year olds. The crowning feature is a superstructure which contains 23 stair levels and a two-story curly slide.

Getting There

Enter the park from 7800 South at approximately 2100 West or from 8020 South Redwood Road.

    Great for babies all the way up to preteens. So much to do, my 18 month old loved it. Very fun. There's a mister by the drinking fountain, lots of tunnels and "old west" buildings, and really nice swings, safe for babies and toddlers in the tot lot. Lots of police surveillance and security drive bys, felt safe, and is totally enclosed so kids can't just run out. Great place for a birthday party.

    We drove all the way there from Sugarhouse and it was well worth the drive! It is perfect for little ones as well as older kids up to the age of 12. There is so much to do there you could spend hours. I highly recommend it!

    This park has so many activities! There is a huge playstructure with lots of levels and slides. There are also swings for kids and infants, sand digging areas, a tire swing and a rock wall. There are facilities nearby, but they are closed during late fall and winter. There is 24-hour police video surveillance as well. There were only a few families when we went last week, but I imagine it is much busier in the spring and summer.
