Wines Park is Lehi’s oldest existing park. Ira D. Wines, a prominent Lehi businessman and former Pony Express rider, gifted the property to Lehi City in 1908, when the city promised to maintain the property as a park and name it after his wife, Margaret, who had recently passed away.

The city has kept that promise, and the park has been the city’s go-to park ever since. In its earliest years, the park had a wooden bandstand and 38 varieties of trees. In 1940, the old bandstand was replaced with a bi-level, cement bandstand and restrooms. “Many pleasant summer ‘concerts under the stars’ were enjoyed [here] by music lovers,” according to “A Guide to Lehi City’s Historical Sites and Places.”

Over the years, local clubs and groups raised funds for trees, playground equipment, rose bushes, fireplaces, tables, large concrete platforms and the like. The park has hosted countless carnivals, family reunions, picnics, concerts and chuck wagon breakfasts. For decades, it has served as the starting point for Lehi’s many parades.
