Park Facilities

ATTN: Goodwin Park playground will be cautioned off starting today (9/19/24) to begin preparing for the current equipment to be taken down.

We are in the process of replacing the existing play equipment, so we can give Goodwin Park a much needed refurbishing! Any future updates will be posted on Facebook or on our website. Looking forward to delivering a fresh wave of fun to the community in 2025!

Please visit www.mtzion.com/splash-pad or our Facebook page for any updates (weather closings, changes in hours, etc.)
