Taylorsville Park

Completed in the fall of 2000, the Taylorsville Park is the first public concrete park in the Salt Lake City area.  Unfortunately it is also the worst.  Insane amounts of kids gathered to the park in the first couple months so that it was almost unusable.  The few highlights of the park make it worth a trip if your in the area.  Everything has metal edges, which keeps up the integrity of park.  There are a couple of boxes of different heights and a curved box as well.  The U shaped bowl is decent and some small banks add variety.  The downsides are huge awkward stairsets with low handrails which are poorly designed and unnecessarily dangerous.  It also has some strange blocky pyramids and an odd shaped fun box.  There are some small bumps in the transitions which take some getting used to.  Some of the popular lines cross over each other so keep your head up.  It was a start for the parks, but mostly overlooked now.  It makes me wonder who designed the park.
