Willard Creek Nature Park

Willard Creek Nature Park, which Willard City calls simply the Nature Park, is one of two Willard city parks with boweries you can rent (the other is Central Park, next to Willard Elementary). According to the city, the Nature Park has two boweries, a large playground, restrooms and miles of trails to explore. A small creek runs through the park and into a pond where, in the city's words, residents can fish. The city notes that its park restrooms are closed from November through April.

OpenStreetMap maps Willard Creek running through the park, paved exercise paths, dirt footpaths with small footbridges, a pond and a parking area, along with seasonal retention and debris basins.

Bowery rentals go through Willard City, either with the request form on the city website or by calling 435-734-9881. When checked in September 2026, the city listed two six-hour rental windows (10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or 4 to 10 p.m.), with fees and refundable deposits that differ for residents and non-residents, and payment due before the reservation date. Submitting the form does not guarantee a booking until the city office confirms it.

Willard was named in 1859 for Willard Richards, according to the city's history page.
