You can picnic by the playground, along the winding stream, near the restroom and water facilities, or choose one of several strategically placed picnic tables.

MUNICIPAL GARDENS

Historic 25th Street and Grant Avenue

An open air plaza featuring flowering beds, trees and picnic areas, Ogden’s Municipal Gardens hosts events and activities year-round. Depending on the time of day and the season, the plaza hosts weekend farmers’ markets, weekly concerts, plays and movie screenings. During the holiday season, Municipal Garden’s five acres are aglow with an elaborate Christmas Village. Minature buildings, which showcase both whimsical and historical scenes, line the walkways. Live performances keep the open air amphitheater hopping nightly. Even Santa makes a nightly appearance.

AROUND TOWN
