Park History: The River Hollow Park, which graces Logan City’s eastern Island area, is an excellent example of cooperative and persistent effort by a facilitating neighborhood, City government, local church groups, and community service clubs. River Hollow did not develop as a single construction project but evolved through an extended series of enabling actions taken by a variety of individuals and organizations.
The large south portion of the park was the home of Melvin and Shirley Naylor. The open area to the north was part of Vern and Dorothy Eppich’s large lot which extended east from their historical home at 82 Crockett Avenue. Darwin Peterson, who had served as building chairman for the new Logan Eighth Ward LDS Chapel, secured the Eppich portion of the park in 1963.
Through the creative leadership of Mayor Desmond Anderson, a package was put together enabling the creation of River Hollow Park. Logan City purchased the Naylor lot and the 70 percent General LDS Church share of the Eppich land. The Eighth and Twenty-fifth Wards contributed their 30 percent to the City based on a commitment that it would be developed as a neighborhood park. The landscaping and irrigation projects were completed under the supervision of Parks Director Douglas Eames in 1978. Max Brunson represented the Logan Lions Club in their construction of the covered pavilion.
River Hollow Park has heaps of tree cover which provides copious amounts of shade in the sum-mer and a breathtaking landscape in the fall. The large grass areas combined with the variety of amenities River Hollow Park has to offer provides a grand location for family reunions.
