editJoe's Donuts is a nationally-acclaimed donut shop in Sandy that was established in 1974.[1] It started as a small shop frequented by locals and has now become a tourist destination in the northwest. Joe's Donuts sits on the on the corner of the two major highways that cross through Sandy and is recognized for it's red and white checkered exterior, which has been recently retouched by the city's Facade Improvement program.[2] This was due to a certain clause in the program's policy where Joe's Donuts and other buildings are known as "iconic buildings".
Tollgate Inn is another one of these "iconic buildings". This family restaurant was established in 1980 and serves as a restaurant, bakery and saloon.[3]
Meining Memorial Park is the largest park in Sandy. It has a variety of features, including the Dale Nicholls stage, log gazebo and amphitheater.[4] There are also many picnic benches and trails that run through the trees surrounding the area. The entirety of the park is contructed from wood. Many reoccurring events take place in Mening Memorial Park, such as the annual Easter egg hunt, Movies at the Park and shows performed through the Library Summer Reading Program.[5][6][7] It is located behind city hall and Joe's Donuts, off of Meining Avenue.
The Sandy Mountain Festival is also held at Meining Memorial Park, a two-day bazaar with over 120 artisans and food booths. It is held on July 11-12 and managed by the Sandy Mountain Festival Association, a nonprofit organization comprised of volunteers. [8]
