Stansbury park is a small town just north of the somewhat larger original town along the Oquirrh mountains, Tooele. In 1990 the population of Stansbury was only 1,049 with the last census taken in 2010 the population was 5,145. I can only guess that the number has at least doubled in the past eight years.  The population of Utah has increased significantly in the past few years and we can only guess that the population in the small town of Stansbury has also changed and grown. Stansbury Park was original designed by a developer named Terracor. Originally the plans were for a lake that would allow for sailing and canoeing a large 18 hole golf course and swimming pools and parks. In the 1980s this developer went bankrupt and was no longer apart of the plans in creating Stansbury Park. The original plan was fallowed closely by the new investors that came in and Stansbury is now home to many fun parks and recreational areas.
Stansbury park is conveniently located minutes off of interstate 80 and is pretty close to down town. Stansbury park is only a short drive to down town Salt Lake City. With the small-town charm and the big city only 35 min away Stansbury Park is a perfect place to live in peace and quiet and raise a family.
Here is a list of some of the top things to do in Stansbury and the reasons why the residents of Stansbury enjoy their small town just outside of salt lake city so much. With so many things to do and still keeping the small town feel.
Golfing in Stansbury Park at the Stansbury Park golf course is always a great experience. With 18 holes and a fairly flat course with a few trees this is the ideal set up for those that want to enjoy the game and also improve their game. You can walk the course or play your game on a cart. This golf course gives you the option to bring your own cart or rent one for the day from them. Golfing can be a great time weather you are just learning the game and you are tagging along with friends or taking someone on a date, or even enjoying a fun family day. Even the most experienced golfers will like this course and find it a bit of a challenge to maneuver through the trees and small lakes. One of the most commented and liked thing about this golf course is you very rarely need to make a tee time. Almost any time you want to golf you can show up and walk on the course, because this is a small town and there are three golf courses in the area there is a lot  of course for the people of Tooele and Stansbury to go around.


Including the lakes that are in the golf course there is a large lake that was built around the housing development in Stansbury and is a popular spot for the locals of Stansbury and Tooele county. This man made Stansbury lake was built to be enjoyed with swimming and other water sports like paddle boarding, kayaking, and even  canoeing. These small boat type water activities have become more and more popular and man made lakes around subdivisions are also becoming more and more popular. This is a small lake but it is still a great place to take you family even young children to go swim and just enjoy some fun in the sun while cooling off in Stanbury Park lake
