If you haven't ever been to Fountain Green, Utah you are missing out. It is about 20 minutes east of Nephi and home of lots of open land and also Maple Canyon. In September we went down there with Abe's brother's family in search of a deer. They had a tag to hunt a deer on some private property which turned out to be a field the size of a football field. But if any deer set it's hooves on that land it was, it was as good as dead. We arrived to our destination with a little time on our hands until dusk, which was the most likely time the deer would come, so my sister-in-law and I headed into town to find a park or playground of some kind to entertain our kids while our husbands waited out the daylight. Playing in the dirt along side the road near the field was losing it's luster.
We probably found the best park in the western united states. It was on it's own block, and was surrounded by grass, and had pavillions and picnic tables right next door. There was everything at this park to keep wee little ones, and big kids having a great time. And it wasn't even crowded.
The kids had a great time playing with their cousins and exploring Fountain Green. We even headed up into Maple Canyon and let the kids climb up the rocks. If we hadn't stopped Van i'm not sure how far he would have climbed. He still doesn't quite sense danger.
This was a nice way to spend half a day. Unfortunately no deer crossed into the field the boys were staking out. Lucky deer.
