Vernal City Parks
     

Vernal City purchased property downtown with the intent to build an urban park. A committee headed by council member JoAnn Cowan met with an architect to design the park. The Vernal City Council approved the plans in the fall of 2001. The park has the Cobble Rock archways that were a local feature at this site for many years. The park also has an amphitheater, fountains, and landscaping, making it a feature attraction for Old Towne Vernal. 		 

 


 
Ashley Valley Community Park is the largest park in Vernal. It is located at 500 N. 900 W. right next to the Freestone Legacy Walking Park . Ashley Valley Community Park has a lot to offer including two large pavillions, four baseball diamonds, three softball diamonds, three sand volleyball pits, lighted horseshoe pits, two large playgrounds, and features a gazebo that was once the top of the old Vernal LDS Tabernacle. It was brought to the park when the tabernacle was converted into the Vernal LDS temple.  
     
Tom Freestone and his sister Leora Jacobe donated property to Vernal City for the construction of a walking park. Many companies and individuals donated to make the park a wonderful addition to Vernal. The park is used by many in the community. A gazebo was donated and constructed by the Vernal Elks. The walking park is located on 500 North between 800 West and 900 West.  
     
Independence Park is located by the swimming pool and Vernal Middle School. It has a pavilion and playground and plenty of grassy shade.
