Why you'd want to live in West Valley City

West Valley City boasts a population of more than 130,000 residents, making it the second largest city in Utah. West Valley City has long celebrated its cultural diversity. The 2010 Census Report estimated the size of the non-white community at almost 35 percent. Fulfilling the dream of former Mayor Gearld L. Wright, the city broke ground on the Utah Cultural Celebration Center in 2002, creating a space where cultures could come together to celebrate with one another. Since opening, the Utah Cultural Celebration Center has hosted hundreds of cultural events including Scottish Festivals, Native American Pow Wows, the Utah Polynesian Festival, and an annual Day of the Dead celebration. The Center also hosts annual summer and winter concert series, numerous educational programs, world-renowned art exhibits and is home to one of only three Olmec Heads, gifted to the United States by Mexico. Recreation opportunities abound in West Valley City. Two golf courses and more than 20 parks provide ample green space, while the 96,000 square foot Family Fitness Center and the Harman Senior Recreation Center provide recreation and fitness activities for all ages. via wvc-ut.gov
