Visit Heritage Square, where plaques bearing the names of Santa Clara's forefathers line a green space with a fountain, making these a wonderful space for weddings (proper booking required). Stop by the Jacob Hamblin House, a pioneer-era home circa 1862, and the City Arboretum with its desert and wetland gardens. Archie Gubler Park is a local favorite, with a splash pad for kids and their parents to enjoy during the hottest Utah days, a play area for the little ones, and sports courts like sand volleyball, softball, and soccer (reservations may be required). Plenty of walking trails make this a great place to get some exercise, and the green space is perfect for picnics.
Santa Clara shares its city limits with St. George, making it easy to access the larger town's rich cultural epicenter, including the Tuachan Amphitheater, several museums, historic walking tours, and art exhibits in both galleries and out on the street. Visit Ancestor Square for shopping, gallery-hopping, and eateries. Be sure to check out one of St. George's many public parks like Pioneer Park, where guests can hike the famous Sugarloaf or squeeze through a slot canyon, or the Red Hills Desert Garden with displays of native plants and endangered fish.
Southern Utah is home to wonderful beauty and desert landscapes that never fail to inspire awe.
