The Western Weber Park District owns 9.5 acres and an easement for a horse trail for parks in the Taylor West Weber community area.

The Park Board has primarily considered standards for neighborhood and community parks. Other type of parks maybe considered such as nature parks, linear parks, equestrian parks and facilities etc. Also, areas in unincorporated Western Weber County may be considered to be annexed into the park district.

General guidelines are: These are parks which are the basic unit of the park system and serve as the recreational and social focus of the neighborhood. A successful neighborhood park design should be developed for active and passive recreational activities, to accommodate a wide variety of age and user groups including children, adults, seniors and ½ mile for 5-acre parcels and 1 mile radius for parks in the upper numbers. Citizens should be able to walk to this type park without having to cross major streets. These parks could contain such items as play-ground, bike racks, benches, trash receptacles, park signage, picnic tables, barbeque grills and drinking fountains. A neighborhood park should have at least one large pavilion and several single-table pavilions, at least one set of restrooms, or more depending on size of park. Facilities that are compatible with the neighborhood setting, but not specifically designed for competitive play. These may include Basketball courts, volleyball courts, Tennis and/or pickle ball courts, disc golf course, softball/baseball field, soccer fields for informal or youth usage.

General guidelines are: These are larger in size intended to serve a broader range of activities and users. They allow for large group activities, multiple sports fields, intended for larger programmed activities such as sports league practice, games and/or tournaments. For active recreation such as sports activities they should have additional support facilities not found in neighborhood level, such as bleachers, fencing, dugouts, concessions, and/or lighting. Parking should support larger activities. They should be between 20 and 50 acres and cover a 2- mile radius. They need to balance passive and active recreational uses. There should be at least two large pavilions, (reservable) and many single table pavilions. Restrooms should be of size and quantity to support the type of activity at the park. Playgrounds should be unique and larger than what is typically found in a neighborhood park. For example, Pickleball courts need multiple courts adjacent to each other. At least four courts for normal use, eight or more is better. Tournament play requires at least eight courts, preferably 12 to 16. They could include many other types of amenities such as splash pad, skateboard park, bicycle park, dog park, fishing ponds, demonstration gardens outdoor stage or amphitheater, and farmers market etc. Concessions would also be considered to provide for the needs of the participants at the park.

The Park District is concerned about the social, emotional, and physical needs of all community members. All park facilities will be built according to American Disability Standards for access for everyone.

To develop facilities, we need Land with water for parks. If you would like to preserve perpetual green space and provide for the needs of the community, talk to your tax advisor about advantages to donating land to the park district.
