Vineyard Grove Park: Sprawling across 18 acres, Vineyard Grove Park is a premier destination for recreation and community gatherings. This versatile park offers something for everyone, featuring expansive soccer fields, a scenic walking trail, all-ages playground areas, a basketball court, and four tennis courts that are also lined for pickleball with portable nets available.

The park is especially appealing for families with toddlers, offering a playground tailored for children ages 2-5, with soft ground, age-appropriate equipment, and plenty of shade. You’ll often hear the joyful sounds of little ones exploring and making new friends.
Sunset Beach Park: If a peaceful walk with stunning scenery is what you desire, Sunset Beach Park delivers.

Neighborhood Pocket Parks: Beyond these main attractions, Vineyard is dotted with smaller neighborhood parks, each offering green spaces for relaxation and play within easy reach of residential areas. While they may not have the extensive amenities of the larger parks, they provide valuable community gathering spots and contribute to the city’s overall appeal.
What’s Coming Up: Vineyard is rapidly expanding its recreational and green spaces, with the most ambitious project being the Greenline, a 12-acre linear park that will serve as the central artery of the new Utah City downtown. It opened its first phase in the summer of 2025, with additional phases expected to open this fall, this vibrant corridor will connect the FrontRunner station to Utah Lake, featuring community hubs like event lawns and an all-abilities playground. While major public works like the Greenline are transforming the city, new residential developments such as Holdaway Fields also contribute to the overall green aesthetic. Though its walking trails and parks are private amenities for residents, Holdaway Fields’ design complements the city’s broader vision of creating a more interconnected and walkable community.
