I grew up going to St. George, Utah all the time and back in 2014 Jared and I lived in St. George for a couple of months. Since then we have been back to visit almost every year. It was while we lived there in 2014 we discovered Pioneer Park!
Pioneer Park Utah
Pioneer Park is such a fun place to go hiking. It’s a great place to stop on your next trip to St. George.
The park is a 52-acre rustic community park that rock climbers will love. The park has a large trellis pavilion with two barbecues and a fire ring. The area has several smaller picnic areas as well.
With numerous hiking trails, access to a Boy Scout Cave, pioneer cabin and slot canyons you can spend hours hiking all over the park! The best part… it’s FREE!
Tips for Visiting Pioneer Park
Limited Parking
Parking is limited so if you’re planning on going at a busy time (the weekend or on a holiday) arrive early or be prepared to wait for a parking spot.
Bring Water
Be sure to bring and drink plenty of water. The dry heat during the summer can make you extra thirsty.
Bring Your Camera
Don’t forget to bring your camera! The red rock and beautiful city views make for great photos. This would be an awesome location for family photos or wedding photos!
Use Sunscreen
Pioneer Park has very little shade as your climbing around on the red rocks so be sure to use sunscreen and wear a hat if you need to.
Wear Play Clothes
Pioneer park is full of red rock and red dust so play clothes are definitely a good idea for little kids who will love to play in all the red dirt!
Pack a Lunch
There is a nice picnic area so pack a lunch and make a day of exploring the great outdoors!
With all the rocks, dirt and trails to explore this park is the ultimate kid’s natural playground. Be prepared for red dirt on everything.
Bathrooms
Pioneer Park does have bathrooms which makes it a lot easier to go exploring with kids when you have restrooms nearby.
Wear Good Shoes
As with any type of hiking you will want to wear good shoes. There are a lot of areas to walk and climb so be prepared and have fun!
