Herman Franks Park
Ball fields, playground, and a busy fenced dog run
About this park
A 10-acre central-SLC park with baseball and softball fields, restrooms, a playground, and a popular fenced off-leash dog area. Reviewers describe the dog side as a dependable daily ritual, with gravel and pea-stone footing, agility pieces, shade trees, ample parking, and a double gate. The wider park works as a one-stop trip if you have kids and a dog along for the same outing.

Before you go
The dog side is gravel, so limit hard-running sessions if your dog has soft pads. After heavy rain a small grass section can turn muddy quickly.
