Too snowy and cold

I will be back going to parks as soon as possible.  I have been sick.

Bridal Veil Falls

We came to find that Bridal Veil Falls is not part of Bridal Veil Park.  As both Nunns park and Bridal Veil Park were closed on the day we went (you could walk in, but not drive), we went a few yards up the road to the Bridal Veil Falls.  These are beautiful.  Even in late November, the trails by the falls were busy; runners, bikers, hikers, families, and even pets can be seen.  I was lucky enough to get a little native lure as we explored the area.  According to one Provo native, the falls use to be a busy tourist attraction, even the locals enjoyed the evening riding the tram to a restaurant on the top of the cliffs by the falls.  But many years ago, there was an avalanche, and the area has never been rebuilt.  It is privately owned and there is a "Danger" sign in a inconspicuous place before the trail to the falls.  Even though it is a beautiful scenic area, be careful of the debris left

by the avalanche.  info site

BRIDAL VEIL PARK

AND

NUNNS PARK

Canyon View park

Provo Canyon 

Canyon View Park is a cute little park right on Provo Canyon Rd.  It is close to several other parks.  We went on a cold day, after the snow.  The kids had fun with the rocks, and climbing.  There is a small playground and a picnic pavilion.  The great thing about this park is the bridge that overlooks a small dam.  It's a great place for your children to see and talk about the dam and watch the water cascade.

Big Springs Park

A Provo Canyon Park.

As you drive up South Fork Rd. in Provo Canyon, you'll pass many parks.  With a little patience, you'll come to a Big Springs.  It's a great fall park with a beautiful river and a fun bridge.  It's a great place to bring the family for a nature walk.  

There is a large grassy area for family fun, but you'll need to bring your own equipment (balls, horseshoes, etc.).  The pavilions are nice, there are restrooms and water taps.  It's a beautiful place to picnic and barbeque.  There's a grill with every picnic spot. 

Our favorite thing was the river!!!  

Rotary Club Bicentennial Park

1400 South 1600 East, Provo, Utah

Early fall finds this park in perfect playing condition.  The large trees are in beautiful array, and the large grassy field is well maintained.  You find Ultimate Frisbee set up for you, with volleyball and horseshoe areas to entertain the youthful family.  

There is a nice covered pavilion close to the restrooms and playground.  

The playground equipment is safe with variety for different age groups.  I especially enjoyed the little zip-line.

You'll find a pond with a charming bridge.  The pond is not clean, but the bridge is fun.  South of the pond, if you look closely, you'll notice a small sign.  This leads you to the gem of the park.  It's a walkway through a small wetland area.  Quaint wooden benches appear every few yards so you can sit and take in the evening colors at sunset.  There are information areas to tell you about the wetlands, the different trees and bushes, and the natural spring that is found in the area.  This area is available to all, and wheelchair friendly.  All in all a nice park to visit in the fall.
