Stansbury Park is a census-designated place (CDP) in Tooele County, Utah, United States.
Stansbury Park is located in the northern end of Tooele Valley at the base of the Oquirrh Mountains.
[3] A natural lake (The Mill Pond) exists on the northern edge of the area; it is fed by a spring at its southeast end.
The outflow water from this lake is piped around the Oquirrh Mountain Range (east of Stansbury Park) to the Kennecott Company's copper mine refinery operation (the runoff water from the lake enters a large pipe NW of the Benson Grist Mill for transport to the Kennecott operation).
During the winter, Stansbury Park is often the only course open in the greater Salt Lake City area.
Bonneville Academy, on the west edge of Stansbury Park, is a K-8 Charter school with a focus on STEM education.
An LDS meetinghouse northwest of the Benson Grist Mill was placed into service in early 2009; that area was not part of the original Stansbury Park proposal, but since its water and sewer are provided by the Stansbury Park Improvement District, it is now considered an integral part of the development.
Sewer service is provided by a lagoon complex northwest of the community (north of Utah State Route 138).
The original addressing scheme for Stansbury Park was to divide the area into neighborhoods, each with a name and with the houses therein to be numbered from 1 to XXX.
The three original neighborhoods were Country Club, Lake View, and Mill Pond (which consisted of blocks of condominiums rather than individual houses).
This organization grants preliminary approval to housing and remodeling plans within the service area (Tooele County Engineering Department grants final approval), and organizes outdoor activities such as Stansbury Days every third Saturday in August, Easter Egg hunts, gardening classes and other local celebrations such as fireworks displays on holidays.
Stansbury Park is located on State Route 36, approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) north of the city of Tooele.
Stansbury Park is approximately 23 miles (30 minutes) from the Salt Lake International Airport[10] As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 2,385 people, 701 households, and 625 families residing in the CDP.
