About
Phil Baux Park occupies a particularly enviable location in Jackson Hole: right at the base of Snow King Mountain at 10 E Snow King Avenue, adjacent to the Snow King ski area and summer activity complex. The park is named after Phil Baux, a significant figure in Jackson Hole skiing history and the broader outdoor recreation heritage of the town.
For families doing a Snow King day, Phil Baux Park provides a natural complement. While older kids tackle the alpine slide or treetop adventure course, younger siblings who don't meet age or height requirements can enjoy the park with one parent. It's also a perfect spot to decompress after a morning of mountain activities — lay out a blanket, let kids run on the park grass, and take in the mountain backdrop.
The park itself is a classic neighborhood park with equipment appropriate for young children. It's not a destination park with special features, but the location — at the foot of one of Jackson's most iconic hills, with mountain views in every direction — makes it feel more special than most neighborhood parks.
Free, accessible, and open. Best for ages 1-12. The Snow King base lodge has food and restrooms nearby if you need facilities.
