Trailside sits between Old Ranch Road and US-40, a neighborhood built around one of the Basin’s busiest parks, with playgrounds, playing fields, a bike park and an elementary school close by. The name is accurate: trails really are the point here.

At a glance

• Where. In the Snyderville Basin between Old Ranch Road and US-40.
• Homes. Mostly single-family homes built since 2000, in sub-neighborhoods including Silver Summit and Mountain Ranch Estates, many with views toward Canyons.
• Skiing. Canyons Village and Park City Mountain are each about 15 minutes away.
• Outside. Trailside Park, with playing fields, playgrounds, a skate park, dog parks, disc golf and the Trailside Bike Park, which opened in 2011. Trails lead into Round Valley, and a paved path connects toward Park City.
• Errands. Kimball Junction, about ten minutes away.
• Schools. Park City School District, with Trailside Elementary in the neighborhood. Check any address with the district’s own locator.

Daily life

Trailside is busy in the best way. The park fills up after school and on weekends, the bike park is rarely empty, and the trails into Round Valley start a few streets away.

My take

My go-to spot. Trailside Bike Park. Even when I’m not riding, I love how much activity and neighborhood life surrounds it.

What people don’t realize. The parks and schools create a very social neighborhood, but they also create busier moments during drop-off, pickup, games and events.

What I love most. It’s one of the easiest neighborhoods for an active lifestyle. Trails, parks, schools and friends can all become part of the daily routine.

If you’d like to see Trailside the way I’d show it, say hello.
