Davis County is home to a rich history, diverse activities and unique scenery. It might be the smallest county in landmass, but we are the third most populated county in Utah. We got our name from the early pioneer, Daniel C. Davis, and were established as a territory in 1850. Just two short years later, we officially became a county in this great state. We’re only 20 minutes, depending on traffic, north of Salt Lake International Airport, making Utah’s amusement capital super convenient because it’s like we’re just down the road! The Western Sports Park offers over 180,000 sq ft of floor space. Including 9 basketball or 9 volleyball courts, 17 acres of playing fields, 2,000 plus parking spaces, all on a 55 acre campus.
