Pioneer Park, on 300 south and 300 west, has had a bad reputation for a long time but things are changing. With all the new condos and businesses in the area, things are looking up. For a few weeks more, there will be free concerts at the park on Fridays from 6 to 9. This is a very nice and relaxing way to spend an evening.
It was great to see families enjoying the park outside of the Farmers Market hours (Saturdays 8 am to 1 pm, in case you needed to know). And yes, there were still some homeless people there. Hard for there not to be since the shelter is only a couple of blocks away. They can be very entertaining though. There was one lady that must have been a stripper in better times because she was working a sapling like a pro. But hell, it is still a public park and if she wants to be a true tree hugger then good for her.
And if, your still worried about hanging at Pioneer Park, don't. The police presence is very visible.
