This is a solid park. It's significantly larger and better kept than most, if not all, the other parks in Provo. It boasts a massive pavilion that would easily seat 300+, one smaller pavilion, and plenty of picnic tables scattered around the park, along the canal.

A cute canal cuts through the east side of the park, flanked by reeds, and sometimes visited by ducks. You have to walk across at one of Lions Park's 3 bridges to enter the park, which physically separates the park from the car parking lots.

2 parking lots grant access to the park, one nicely paved, curbed, and gardened. The other is kind of gravely and is not wheelchair friendly. If you live in a close neighborhood, you can walk in through the parking lots, a neighborhood sidewalk access point, and two stairways on the north and west sides of the park.

Beautifully, the entire west side of the park is slightly overgrown. There's a fence, but it's covered in creeper vines. Large, old trees lean over the fence and provide ample shade for so much of the walking path thatbcircles the park

Plenty of shade and seating, a baseball diamond, and a nice safe feeling are the highlights of this park.

We also enjoy weekly storytime over the summer, provided by Provo Library.

I'd love to see a bigger playset or an additional playset, considering the size of the park. There's also nowhere within walking distance where I could grab lunch and still keep an eye on my kids.

Nice spot for a picnic or large gathering. Two large pavilions.

It's a comfortable park that works well with large events. We had a Luau festival here with 1000 people and everyone was fed and happy. There's plenty of space too.

The care for the park is great! Thank you for keeping it ready to go 🙌🏼

Nice park with a large event pavilion with many tables and another smaller pavilion with a few tables.
There are 2 small parking lots with one directly across from the event pavilion. Bathrooms on site are well maintained. There's a stream, lots of trees, a large open field, and a paved walking trail around the perimeter. Great place for a picnic or flying a kite. You might see a few ducks by the stream during your visit as well. Dogs are allowed but must remain on leash.

Very nice quiet park on a Sunday. Great for a picnic day, napping or reading your book.

Lions park is wonderful.
Restrooms are available although it is a gamble if they are clean or open.
A small little creek with bridges is always a prize.
Baseball diamond, plenty of grass, cement sidewalk around the perimeter as well.
I have gone to lions park many times for all kinds of things and that is why it’s so great.
Yoga, jogging, stairs, soccer, baseball, river rafting…. Just kidding.

It’s one of the best kept secrets in town

I didn't get to see the entire park, we were there for a work party, but it was SO PERFECT for a company party. The pavilion is huge and well taken care of, the park was also well cared for. Parking wasn't ideal, but we were able to find a spot.

Such a fun park! Many people don't know this, but this used to be a home to Native Americans, due to the shelter provided by the surrounding hills and the proximity to the creek. It has a playground, baseball field, a pavilion and long expanses of grass. It is well maintained and has a good walking trail. The only thing I suggest is that in the summer, you put bug spray on after sunset. I got like twenty mosquito bites in like 20 min.
