Rock Canyon Park is the largest park in Provo (for other parks in Provo click here). Located at the base of the mountains and above the Provo LDS temple, Rock Canyon Park is also one of the most beautiful parks. Perfect for large events and family reunions; there is a large open bowl area that can be used to accommodate several activities at one time.(*)
