Tanner Park
Mile-long off-leash trail down to a creek swim hole
About this park
An anchor of the SLC off-leash scene, with a roughly mile-long trail down through Parley's Creek to a swim hole that's converted plenty of non-water dogs into committed splashers. Reviewers consistently say it's the park that turns a routine walk into a small adventure, with mountain-foothill scenery and steady playmate options. Plenty of room means peak hours rarely feel crowded.
