Discover West Jordan

West Jordan can be explored through a range of interests: local history, the river landscape along the Jordan River, and opportunities for recreation, gardening, and art. If you’re looking for a hotel in West Jordan, take your travel dates into account when planning, especially if an annual event or seasonal offering is important to you. Historic sites and activities tied to specific dates are separate planning considerations. First decide which of them will shape your trip; then you can look for hotel options that suit your stay.

Pioneer Hall and Local History

Pioneer Hall is a historic sandstone building that was completed and dedicated on August 11, 1867. It is also known as the “old rock church.” It originally served as a meetinghouse for pioneers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After its restoration, Pioneer Hall has been used as a dance hall, social center, reception center, and house of prayer.

Western Traditions and Event Dates

The Western Stampede in West Jordan takes place annually and combines rodeo competitions, Western traditions, and family entertainment. Its dates vary by event year. If the Stampede is part of your reason for traveling, check the dates for the edition taking place that year. This will help you plan around the program during your intended stay.

The Jordan River and Trails

The Jordan River forms the eastern boundary of West Jordan and also serves as a refuge for wildlife. In West Jordan, the river also offers a peaceful path for walkers and a scenic route for cyclists. The Jordan River Trail has a paved path and ramps for entering and exiting the trail. Infrastructure can change, so check the trail’s condition before your outing. Walking and cycling are the main activities along the river; the Jordan River Trail’s specific features are its paved path and ramps. For planning purposes, these details address different questions: what kind of activity you’re looking for and which trail features are relevant to you.

Recreation at West Jordan Wheels Park

A path loops around West Jordan Wheels Park and is suitable for walking or leisurely rides. Visitors can use scooters, skateboards, roller skates, balance bikes, wheelchairs, and mountain bikes in the park. The path and the listed equipment describe different ways to use the park: you can opt to walk or take a leisurely ride on the path, or consider one of the rolling activities listed.

Classes and Seasonal Offerings

Conservation Garden Park offers classes with experts in horticulture and water-wise landscaping. The two topics have distinct focuses: gardening expertise and landscaping that uses less water. Art Cottage offers watercolor classes for children and adults; available classes may vary. During the usual season, from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the splash pad at Ron Wood Park is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Seasonal dates may vary, so check the dates for the season of your trip. This will help you distinguish between classes and a limited-time recreational offering when planning.
