Springville at a glance

Utah County · Utah

Springville calls itself Utah's Art City, and the Springville Museum of Art explains why. A national art exhibition begun by high school students in the 1920s, the Spring Salon, grew into a museum, and in the 1930s the community built a professional gallery with WPA, city and private funds. The museum's collection dates to 1903, when artists Cyrus Dallin and John Hafen donated two paintings.

The city website has an agendas and minutes page for the City Council and Planning Commission, with live streams on YouTube and a public comment form. It also has permit pages for building, fence, filming, special event and yard sale permits, a public works section, and parks and recreation pages that cover the Clyde Recreation Center, cemeteries and canyon parks. To follow a decision, read the council and commission agenda packets, which include staff reports.

Springville maintains many city parks and three parks in Hobble Creek Canyon: Jolley's Ranch, Kelly's Grove and Rotary Park. The city lists 13 reservable pavilions in town, five of them at Wayne Bartholomew Family Park, and 10 canyon pavilions available May 1 through September 30 for day use or overnight group camping. Jolley's Ranch has a campground with water at each site and power at most, open from the third Friday in April through October, plus a youth camp for organized groups. Pavilion and campsite reservations can be made up to a year in advance, and the city notes fire restrictions that limit open fires to approved fire rings and grills in developed areas.
