About Boulan Park

 

Boulan Park is a popular municipal park located in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah. Covering several acres of landscaped lawns, mature trees, and paved pathways, the park serves as a key community gathering spot for a variety of outdoor activities. Its central playground is a favorite for families, featuring modern play structures designed for children of different ages. The park also includes basketball courts, open fields suitable for casual sports like soccer or frisbee, and picnic tables that make it an ideal location for barbecues and gatherings. The surrounding neighborhood contributes to the park's vibrant atmosphere, with a mix of residential areas and nearby commercial shops. The park is well-maintained by the Salt Lake City Parks Department and features clean restroom facilities and benches for relaxation. Seasonal events and informal sports leagues are commonly held here, making it an active hub for locals.
