The Firefly Vision
Where kids play outside instead of online.
Firefly is Utah’s only Active Family Community — a place built from the ground up to get kids off their screens, back outside, and connected to the people who matter most.
Watch the vision
Hear it from our president.
The story behind Firefly — why we built a whole community to get kids back outside.
We’re concerned parents, just like you
Our children deserve better adventures, better relationships, better experiences.
We didn’t set out to build just another subdivision. We set out to solve a problem every parent feels. Screens are winning. Childhood is shrinking. And the years we have with our kids are slipping by faster than any of us want to admit.
Firefly is our answer — a community designed so that the most fun thing to do is outside, with the people who live next door. Making memories beyond your screen shouldn’t be hard. At Firefly, it’s the easiest thing in the world.
The reason Firefly exists
The numbers every parent should see.
of parents struggle to communicate with their kids
the average teen spends on devices every day
more likely to be active when their parents are
of your time with your kids at home is gone by age 12
Maximize the time you have left
75% of your time with your kids is gone by age 12.
That statistic stopped us cold. By the time a child turns twelve, most of the hours you’ll ever spend with them under your roof are already behind you. The question isn’t whether those years will pass — it’s how you’ll spend them.
Firefly is built so that the answer is easy: outside, together, on bikes and trails and courts and splash pads — making the kind of memories your kids will carry for life.
More amenities than any community in Utah
350+ acres built for getting outside.
Firefly has more amenities — indoor and outdoor — than any other community in the state. Here’s a taste of what your kids will be begging to do every afternoon.
Downhill Bike & Pump Tracks
Purpose-built flow trails, berms, and a pump track wind through the community. Bring the bikes and let the kids ride until the sun goes down.
Skate & Wheels Park
A full skate park for boards, scooters, and bikes of every skill level — right in the neighborhood, not a drive away.
Courts, Fields & Multisport Complex
Pickleball, basketball, open fields, and a multisport complex for pickup games, leagues, and weekend tournaments.
Playgrounds & Splash Pads
Adventure playlands, splash pads, and playgrounds built for little ones — pack a lunch and meet your future neighbors.
350+ Acres of Trails & Open Space
Hiking, NICA trails, equestrian paths, and green space connect the whole community on foot, by bike, or on horseback.
A Full-Time Activities Director
The region's only on-staff Activities Director plans weekly events — sports leagues, scavenger hunts, nature walks, and movie nights.
The region’s only Activities Director
Amenities are nice. Someone planning the fun is everything.
Most communities build a park and hope you use it. Firefly hired someone whose entire job is to bring neighbors together. Our full-time Activities Director plans weekly events — youth sports leagues, scavenger hunts, nature walks, food trucks, holiday parties, and outdoor movie nights — designed to facilitate quality time and pull everyone off their devices.
It’s how a neighborhood becomes a community, and how strangers become the friends your kids grow up with.
Why families choose Firefly
In their own words.
“I think 100% the key factor in us coming out here is that we wanted the lifestyle for our kids that we grew up with.”The Parker family
“Firefly's mission was exactly aligned with our family's values.”The Garner family
