Cherry Hill, Water park and entertainment center in Kaysville, Utah, US.
Cherry Hill is a campground and water park in Fruit Heights, Utah, on land that was a 38-acre cherry farm before 1967. Its water area holds the Pirates Cove children's splash pad with a 40-foot mock pirate ship, the Double Dragons and Little Dippers slides, the Cardiac Canyon River Run raft slide and Grant's Gulch lazy river. Dry attractions include an 18-hole mini-golf course, a climbing wall, a jungle gym and a jungle-themed maze.
The site began in 1967 when owner Grant S. Lloyd transformed his inherited fruit farm into a campground called Crossroads Camping. The transformation from a simple camping facility into today's entertainment destination with water attractions happened gradually over the following decades.
The name Crossroads Camping came from the site's spot near a busy interstate, where Grant Lloyd also leased land for a restaurant and partnered with a nearby Chevron station. Some of the original cherry trees still stand among the campground, and the lazy river is named Grant's Gulch after the founder.
Cherry Hill sits in Fruit Heights, just off Highway 89 near the Interstate 15 interchange, with the campground and water attractions on the same grounds. The 2004 lazy river project added 140 parking stalls, a changing room and a snack bar. Water rides run in summer; the 18-hole mini golf course, game room and snack bar date from 1978.
The park's lazy river, added in 2004, is named Grant's Gulch after founder Grant S. Lloyd. The project also brought 140 parking stalls, a new changing room and a snack bar. In March 2024, draining the river into the city sewer overwhelmed the lines and flooded basements in a dozen nearby houses.
