Where Can I Walk Near Yalecrest?

2026-11-09 · Delia Bayna, REALTOR® · eXp Realty, LLC | Luxury · 3 min read

A paved park path under big maple trees in red and gold fall color, with foothills behind.

The biggest park close by

Sunnyside Park, at 1735 E Sunnyside Ave, has sports fields, tennis courts, a playground and a pavilion. It is a good open place for a walk around the edge.

Smaller parks

Laird Park is at 1185 S 1800 E. Wasatch Hollow Park is at 1631 E 1700 S. Both are close enough for a short walk from most Yalecrest streets.

For you and your pup

Rotary Glen Park, at 2850 E Sunnyside Ave, has a dog park and a nature trail.

What's closed right now

The Miller Bird Refuge has been closed for construction since August 24, and the city expects the work to take about four months. I'll update my Yalecrest parks page when it reopens.

For a walk with something to look at, try one of the free self-guided tours of Yalecrest's historic homes. I wrote about them in can I take a walking tour of Yalecrest.
