Thanks to a friend in "the village" (the name for the U's student housing area) Emilie discovered the fun rivers at Liberty Park. The area is called the Seven Canyons and is a representation of the Salt Lake Valley. Each of the seven canyons, their creeks, the Jordan River, Utah Lake and the Great Salt Lake are represented. The water is just the right depth for children and it's chlorinated so Emilie doesn't worry too much about communicable diseases. Plus, much of the area is shaded; a definite perk in the summer heat.
