Begun in 1939 by the Salt Lake Council of Women, the Peace Gardens have expanded over the years and now belong to the city. Take a stroll along the Jordan River, through the gardens, and past statuary and displays representing different countries (such as Buddha statues, windmills, and Viking tomb replicas). Benches are scattered about for moments of rest and contemplation. Allow about 1 hour.
