liberty park is nice, there is a big lake in the middle you can walk around, an aviary, and in the summer, rides. right across the street is a cafe called the park cafe and that's the best spot for breakfast in the city.

pioneer park downtown is a bit sketchy at night, but fine enough during the day. there is a good thai place across the street called ekamai.

there is a pretty cool park called gilgal gardens that is full of all sorts of crazy stone sculptures that is probably something you won't see anywhere else.  http://www.gilgalgarden.org/ it's right next to a fun bar.

there are more parks than that, those are just the few i know well.

hope this helps!!!

how do you not see the 56 other threads about this in here?

i'll save you the trouble of learning how to use the search bar.

of the 3 resorts you listed, only brighton has any sort of a park.

You could also go to the Canyons. But you'll pay just as much, or more, than PC.

alta's park is pretty sick this year, quite a few new rail features and some pretty nice jumps. snowbird has been slacking, but their halfpipe is really nice. i wouldn't even bother with brighton, though.

i would do half alta, half snowbird for your trip. you'll love it!

The BIRD has their pipe dialed per usual-

The lines on mid-gad can get really annoying with all the park bros trying to lap a 2-seater, but it's worth the wait.

If not pc, go to brighton, then canyons. But really, you should go to pc.
