Parley's Historic Nature Park is an easy, family-friendly walk that is started as an off-leash dog park, but is also a beautiful walk with or without canine friends.

Unlike other dog parks that are often small fields or open areas fenced off and dedicated to letting dogs run around, Parley's Historic Nature Park (also referred to as Tanner Dog Park) is an 87-acre park that is also a wildlife refuge area containing numerous historic sites and plaques. It has multiple trails, and it joins with Parley's Trail for a much longer walking or hiking experience. It follows Parley's Creek and is full of trees and brush, and has beautiful views of the nearby mountains and the bottom of Parley's Canyon.

**Local's recommendation:** This is a popular area any time of year-bring your dog if you can, but if you can't or don't own a dog, you will meet many friendly pups on this walk.

Fresh, Responsible, Sustainable Tsunami flies fresh seafood in daily from around the world and we focus on serving fish that is seasonally available to ensure absolute freshness and quality. Our wild salmon is caught from a single family-owned boat out of Petersburg, Alaska, and shipped directly to Tsunami. Tsunami is a member of Strawless SLC. Straws that are provided (upon request) are biodegradable, and water is also served only when requested. All to-go containers and to-go bags are made from compostable materials and Tsunami recycles glass at our Sugar House, Union Heights and South Jordan locations.

Located in [Historic Trolley Square](http://www.trolleysquare.com/) since 1972, we've been satisfying the local Salt Lake community with hand crafted food and beer for decades. In our roots, we began with a simple offering of food and poured Coors to college students. Over time however, we have evolved and expanded into a full service brewpub, with made from scratch food and finely crafted beers alike while still maintaining our local relaxed vibe.

Our brewery operation began in 1995 and within a year we went on to win Utah's first gold medal and the GABF for our Happy Valley Hefeweizen. We have continued winning medals ever since, most recently with 2 Gold Medals and the 2015 Mountain Brewers Festival for our Road Rage Rye and Dunkelweizen. Currently we have four beers that are always on tap (Hefeweizen, Pilsner, Pale Ale, and Stout) in addition to four rotating seasonal taps and one cask conditioned handle.

The menu has kept some of the 35 year favorites while adding and changing over time to more modern offerings. We have a specials menu that changes bi-weekly to explore current trends and maintain variety for our dedicated local following. Everything is made from scratch but at price points we feel set us apart. Come see why we've become a "regulars" establishment and a Salt Lake Institution.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
