Ballpark Playground

Ballpark Playground is a neighborhood park serving the Ballpark area of Salt Lake City, positioned right off W Temple Street. It's a straightforward, no-frills public playground that does exactly what a neighborhood park should do: give young kids a safe place to play for free.

The playground is best suited for toddlers and younger elementary-age kids (roughly 2-8). It has basic play equipment — swings, slides, and climbing structures — that's appropriate for this age range. The park is compact, making it easy for parents to keep eyes on their kids at all times, which many parents actively prefer over larger, more sprawling parks.

The 3.9-star rating is lower than some other SLC parks, likely reflecting that this is a smaller, more modest facility rather than a destination playground. It's not a place you'd drive across the city to visit, but if you're staying in the Ballpark or Central City neighborhoods, it's a convenient and free option for younger kids.

The park is open daily from 5AM to 10PM. For families who need a quick outdoor break between activities in the SLC area, Ballpark Playground fills that role well. For a bigger playground experience, nearby Fairmont Park or Sugar House Park are worth the extra 5-10 minute drive.
