Castle Park in Fruit Heights (by Kaysville) has been completely redone. We visited just the other day and want to share a little tour with you here. Scroll thru ➡️ to see pics and video clips.

The playground is completely different. None of the original park is left. We miss the charm and uniqueness of the other playground equipment, but we understand the new version is easier for upkeep and maintenance. It will probably last longer too. As you’ll see, the park is well loved and used.

A couple of images show an app you can download and use with the park. We didn’t try it out. Has anyone done that? Is it fun? We visit parks to get away from electronics, so I wasn’t sure about using an app. But maybe it’s fun. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Bathrooms are nearby. They weren’t part of the remodel and are very basic.

No shade at the park, which is a total bummer. BUT the coolest shade trail is nearby. See our previous post about the Baer Creek Trail.

There’s also a covered pavilion on the premises, but it’s not right by the park. It’s within a short walking distance, but it’s not close enough so you can see your kids.

I recommend moms bring a blanket or chair as there aren’t any benches. The grass is pretty dried out and crusty to sit on. Portable shade would be a huge bonus too.

I think the bathrooms had drinking fountains, but I’d bring your own water—and lots of it in this heat.

Any questions?

I thought i was lucky to hit this place last summer for peak wild flower season and wow. I get to go back next month for a very special couple, Jena and lane 🥺❤️ I am counting down the weeeeeeks!!!! ...

Thank you to handsonart4everyone ! We had fun trying our hands at pottery making.

I was busy glazing my pot from a previous class while my sons made their first attempts at the wheel. Both were able to create some fun pots that are being fired. We’ll return to glaze those as well.

Since last summer was kind of a bust, we’re trying new things and exploring new places this summer.

I’d never tried the pottery wheel until last month and have always wanted to. I found that I really, really enjoy it. My boys heard me talking about it and wanted to try too. They don’t receive much art education at school anymore. 🥲 So we look for ways to supplement that.

handsonart4everyone has a variety of summer classes and camps. They start at $15-$20. So check them out if you’re in Davis County. They’re located in Farmington.

We have a list of summer camps and classes in our bio utahfamilyfunstuff You can easily spot classes close to you.

Do your kids like art? What do you do to supplement their art education?
