The city also has the Ice Ribbon at Herriman Towne Center, a K9 Memorial Dog Park, riding arenas, Juniper Canyon and a citywide trail system, and its website features a podcast called Herrimanology.

The Census Bureau estimates the city grew from about 55,200 people in April 2020 to about 63,300 in 2025.
