Cook Family Park

Pleasant Grove, Utah

Natural Common Ground

The community of Pleasant Grove, Utah is united thanks to Cook Family Park—a new play space that brings visitors of all ages and abilities together through nature-inspired adventures.

The playground features an inclusive Sky Towers^® structure where kids can interact with sensory play panels, navigate through daring net climbers, or rush down one of the many spiraling slides. The variety of play events on and surrounding the structure ensure that everyone can enjoy a distinct play experience.

The nature-themed aesthetic also bonds the community. Inspired by the surrounding landscape, designer Big T Recreation included local fauna throughout the play space. Kids can hang out with mountain lions, crawl with bears, or even scamper beside foxes. The inspiration continues onto the main structure with animals featured across the top along with evergreen post toppers and a steel mountain peak.

The playground was made possible in large part thanks to the Cook Center for Human Connection. A family foundation, the Cooks wanted to give back to the community by providing a fun gathering space for families and friends.

Since opening, the playground has drawn in visitors from across Utah, creating a true common ground to connect every generation, for generations.
