Provo City counts 61 parks, 818 acres of developed parkland and 35 miles of paved trails and paths. This hub gives 39 of them a page each: the parks with playgrounds, pavilions, courts, fields and trails, from the city's own Park Finder data, with the greenway strips, planned parks and fee facilities left out. Each page tells that park's own story, from the Nuttall family's spring at Bicentennial Park to the 1961 Little League World Series field under North Park, and lists its address, size, hours, amenities and nearest neighbors. The rules every Provo park shares are below, in one place.

Provo park rules
These apply at every city park, so the individual park pages leave them out and link here. They come from Provo's Park Rules and pavilion pages, checked September 30, 2026.
- Curfew: 11 p.m. Park lights and power shut off automatically around then, and sprinklers can run from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m.
- Dogs: on a leash in every city park. The one off-leash area is the fenced dog park inside Bicentennial Park.
- Not allowed: alcohol, smoking, cars on the grass, slip-and-slides, large water features and water balloons. Leave the picnic tables where they are.
- Restrooms: seasonal. The city's rules page says many park restrooms are open April 15 to October 15; plan on locked buildings in winter.
- Fires: only in fire pits the city installed, and only when the Provo Fire Marshal's restrictions allow. Put coals out completely; never in a trash can.
- Kids: the city asks that an adult supervise children at playgrounds, parking lots, restrooms and near open water.
Reserving a pavilion
Reservations open January 1 for a season that runs April 15 to October 15, online through the city or by calling Provo 311 ((801) 852-6000 from outside the city), and are paid when you book. Changes and cancellations need seven days' notice and cost a $10 processing fee, and there are no refunds inside seven days. Outside a reservation, pavilions are free on a first-come basis; playgrounds, courts, trails and open lawns cannot be reserved at all.
A party that spills beyond the pavilion, or any wedding, reception, filming, race or event with 200 or more guests or two or more inflatables, needs the city's Special Parks and Trail Use application and a Parks Use Fee on top of the pavilion rental. Bounce houses and other inflatables are allowed only with a pavilion reservation, must bring their own power (park outlets cannot run them) and need an insurance certificate naming Provo City, sent at least eight days ahead. For how every other Utah County city books its pavilions, see Pavilion and Park Reservations in Utah County.
