REVIEW OF CLUB HEIGHTS PARK, SOUTH OGDEN, UT

4100 Palmer Dr, South Ogden, UT 84405


This is a wood chip based playground at a park in South Ogden, Utah. Park amenities include a play structure, regular swings, covered picnic tables, half basketball court, walking path, grass baseball field with concrete bleachers, grass field, restrooms and two parking lots.


The play structure is rated for 5-12 year olds and features three different slides, fireman pole, monkey bars, vertical chain ladders, plastic rock stairs, circular climber in the middle and stairs for access.


As shown in the pictures the play structure is close to a wooded area and shaded during the day. We photographed this park around 1pm and it was almost completely shaded.


Under the plastic rock stairs there is a "dinosaur fossil". This provides more interest for younger kids and a shady place to play when it is hot. It appears that this had/has graffiti on it but they have tried to remove it or obscure it in some way.




Next to the play structure there are four swing bays, but currently only two regular swings. I inquired to whether these toddler swings were going to be replaced this 2019 season, but the parks director said that there was no order or plan to put new swings there currently due to budget restraints. 


Close to the playground and nearest the south parking lot (near the South Ogden dog park) is a covered pavilion with lots of picnic tables and trash cans. 


There is also a half concrete basketball court near the playground.



Restrooms are nearest the north parking lot and pretty far from the playground and picnic tables.


Pros:

- shaded playground

- large grass area to run

- lots of parking 

- swings

Cons:

- playground not wheelchair accessible

- no infant/toddler swings
