The City has provided multiple parks and community events to provide fun for the whole family. Additionally, because of Eagle Mountain’s unique history and set up, there are many grass roots opportunities to participate in Recreation within our neighborhoods and communities created by people just like you. The challenge of finding them however can be a bit of a treasure hunt. Some tools such as neighborhood Facebook groups help this process, but they have limitations, such as being limited to just the members of that FB group.
