This little garden is so special and unique. I'm not from this area so I'm not sure of the back story here. But the vibe is very peaceful and almost reverent. We went there on such a gorgeous day that the entire garden seemed to sparkle. I love everything about this place. If you like unusual and off the beaten path folk art you might find these gardens as wonderfully intriguing and mysterious as I do.

If you are looking for an interesting park to visit while in Salt Lake City Gilgal is it! I had been here before and there were homeless people sleeping and a mess in there. This time around the landscape looks amazing! It looks like they really have been taking care of this park. We enjoyed walking around and reading all about the interesting sculptures, seeing butterflies, and all the beautiful flowers!

Such a beautiful well kept park. Lots of hidden things to see and read. There's also a portable toilet in the back corner just in case.

When was the park created?

The park was originally the backyard of the artist created the sculptures between the late 1940s and his death in 1963. After his death a neighbor purchased it and it was in danger of being sold to be replaced with Condominiums. The daughter-in-law of the artist purchased an option to buy the garden portion, obtained donations to help with the purchase and eventually it was given to the city of Salt Lake. It was finally opened as a City Park in 2000. As it was originally a backyard, it's very difficult to find if you don't have the actual address. There is a small sign marking the narrow pathway between two residential homes into the park. I find it a very peaceful contemplative place.

I walked by this park and saw no entrance or sign of a park. How do you get in?

Denys Koyle | Sep 25, 2018

Theres only one entrance to the park, it's on the southside of the park, exactly where the address is. There is a lock on the gate, so maybe you came when it was closed.
