About Each Park
Cherry Hill, Kaysville
Utah
Cherry Hill has been Kaysville's go-to family water park since 1958, and it shows in all the best ways. This isn't some massive corporate water park - it's got that classic small-town charm that makes you feel like you're visiting a friend's really awesome backyard pool setup.

Toucan Springs was the family-friendly area where younger kids could splash around safely while parents kept watch from nearby seating areas. The park featured a solid mix of attractions that worked well for families with kids of all ages. You had your thrill slides for the teenagers and adults looking for excitement, plus gentler options and shallow play areas for the little ones. The wave pool was a major draw during hot summer days, creating that beach-like experience in the middle of Utah. What made Seven Peaks stand out was its location and the fact that it provided much-needed relief from Salt Lake City's dry summer heat. The park had that classic American water park feel with plenty of concrete, colorful slides, and the constant sound of rushing water and happy screams. While the original Seven Peaks is no longer operating, the website now redirects to Splash Summit, which appears to be a related or successor operation. If you're looking for water park fun in the Salt Lake area, you'll want to verify current operations and what attractions are actually available, as the water park landscape in Utah has changed significantly over the past few years. The area definitely…
