There\u2019s a new place to play in West Jordan! Maple Hills Park is nestled in the Maples Neighborhood on the west side of the city. It features swings, a jungle gym, slides, a wheels park, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis park is the first of its kind in West Jordan,\u201d said Public Services Director Isaac Astill. \u201cThis entire park is designed for wheels. Concrete is poured along all sections so you can ride smoothly around the entire area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visitors can bring their skateboards, bikes, rollerblades, scooters, and other non-motorized toys to the park to take on ramps, ledges, and berms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many amenities in the park are also ADA-complaint and accessible by wheelchair \u2013 the merry-go-round features a specific spot for a wheelchair to enter and sit when in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this park isn\u2019t just all made for wheels \u2013 it features large fields for picnics and small ball games, as well as natural grassy areas that help cut down on watering and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe worked to reduce the amount of sod in the park,\u201d explained Astill. \u201c43-percent of the park is made of other surfaces or natural grasses. The natural grass areas require about 10-percent of watering that normal sod requires, we\u2019ll also only need to mow that natural grass twice a year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If residents see that natural grass getting a bit high, don\u2019t fret -it\u2019s supposed to. In fact, it\u2019s supposed to grow up to 18-inches tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After two years of construction, the city and residents are happy to have another place to bring the community together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maple Hills Park is located at 7400 south and 6400 West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
