Features and Amenities:
A Park with a Story:
Transformed from the grounds of the former Hillcrest Elementary School, Hillcrest Park carries forward the legacy of community spirit and educational excellence. The upcoming community center, housed in the preserved and updated section of the old school, stands as a testament to Orem city's resilience and commitment to its residents.
A Project of Passion and Unity:
Brought to life through the vision of city leaders, the dedication of our community, and funding avenues that ensured no additional tax burden on residents, Hillcrest Park is a remarkable achievement. It symbolizes what we can accomplish together, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.
The development of Hillcrest Park has been part of Orem's master plan for a decade and is the 21st park in the city. Funded through various sources without increasing local taxes, the project aims to promote community unity and well-being. The park's design and facilities cater to the needs of all community members, including those with disabilities and non-legal residents, ensuring inclusive access to recreational spaces.
The transformation of the former school site into Hillcrest Park has been met with broad community support, symbolizing a positive outcome from the controversial merging of local schools. The initiative not only preserves the neighborhood's spirit but also enhances the quality of life for Orem's residents, embodying the city's vision of a vibrant and inclusive community.
