Corner of 1200 North and 800 East
Orem, Utah 84097

In 1995, Orem purchased the land below the Orem City Cemetery to be used for a future cemetery expansion. Until it is needed, Orem has developed the grounds as soccer fields and a walking/jogging track. Because of the lack of trees, residents frequently use the grounds for remote-control airplane-flying, Frisbee tossing, and kite-flying.

The 16 acres area originally contained four houses that were razed as a requirement of the bond financing. Ground was leveled and grass was planted for what has become one of Orem’s most used city recreation spots.

When the land that is now Cemetery Field was purchased by the city in 1995, it was always intended to be used for the expansion of the adjacent Orem Cemetery. To maximize the use of city fund, the 16 acres were cleared and developed as soccer fields, a track, and open area for other outdoor recreational activities will continue when the property becomes cemetery grounds.

The City plans to keep the walking / jogging track available for as long as possible, even after Cemetery Field plots have been sold.
