Park Type: Neighborhood
Park Location: 1600 East 1350 North
Park History: Lundstrom Park is one of the larger parks in Logan and was named for A.G. Lundstrom, an outstanding mayor who served from 1926-1940. He was noted for his work to develop a diesel generating plant and preserve our municipal power system.
In March of 1969, during Mayor Richard A Chambers’ term, a land exchange was negotiated
between Utah State University and Logan City. The City acquired 28 acres at 1600 East and 1200 North, the site of the university’s “turkey farm.” The property remained undeveloped until 1976 when Mayor Desmond Anderson took office.
In May of 1976 the mayor reported to the City Council that “the City park at 1600 East 1150 North was under development in conjunction with the church park.” He also explained that the City would develop and sell building lots to the highest bidder. These lots were located on the north side of 1150 North between 1600 and 1700 East.
In 1978, under new administration, the subsequent sale of the last remaining lots and proposed
development of an access road east of 1700 East caused a public outcry. Lundstrom Park neighbors banded together to form the Committee for Preservation and Development of Lundstrom Park and demanded a say in park planning. In 1980, a park planning committee was established to answer the concerns of the neighbors and consider their input in the park design. A plan was prepared and approved by the committee and the City. Lundstrom Park was subsequently developed by the City.
1700 East splits the park into two sections. The far east end of the park is bordered by a canal which parallels a frequently used trail. College students are drawn to both sections of this park due to its vast turf area, often used for pick-up games of Ultimate Frisbee. On the far west end of the park, the Bridgerland Youth Baseball program uses the Little League baseball field for regional games and tournaments.
