South Fork Park

Today I went up to South Fork Park to take these photos. The snow still covers large areas of the park, but you can kind of get an idea of what it looks like. To get there, you head up Provo Canyon (go East on 800 North in Orem or go North on University Ave from Provo). On the way you will pass a few parks and Bridal Veil Falls. When you get to the sign that says Vivian Park/South Fork, you turn right and continue up the road until you get there. There is a parking area in front and then you must walk to the pavilions. There is not a paved trail, but well-kept lawn.



Here is the large pavilion. You can see the shady area behind it and the water tap in front.



This barbecue area is right next to the large pavilion. In the shady area on the asphalt, there is a fire pit which would be fantastic for roasting marshmallows or other tasty tidbits.


There is a horseshoe area on the left. Farther to the left (not in the photo) is an amphitheater area. It is still covered in snow, but will be excellent for a talent show or program.


Plenty of room to play baseball or softball, ultimate frisbee, capture the flag, etc. (You can see the large pavilion in the rear.)


This is the smaller pavilion. We have it on Friday and the large pavilion on Saturday. The small one is closer to the restrooms and the river (about a foot deep).
