Show aratoea Tabes On by Kris Radish Utah County's number one fun spot is not dying on its feet. As a matter of fact, it's just been Saratoga, famed through the county and state for its amusement rides and natural hot springs has updated its image. Instead of a ring toss, ride the ferris wheel, candy apple atmosphere, visitors to the resort will find expanded picnic grounds, a new boat harbor, a few kiddie rides and lots of peace and quiet. n. owner and operator of the resort, said it was time for a change. He says people are tired of the "same old thing" and are more interested in relaxation and recreation Robert Eastmond, than in entertainment. "So far our response to the changes has been excellent," Mr. Eastmond stated. "Actually I am amazed at the number of people who said they are pleased and excited about the new Saratoga." The large amusement rides and carnival type games are all but gone from Saratoga. There are a few large rides that still need to be removed but most of them have already been sold and replaced with grass seed and the plans for tennis and handball courts. A few of the small "kiddie" rides and three or four games will remain at the park. Mr. Eastmond says he also expects to keep the food stands open. Walking across a few of Saratoga's 100 acres, Mr. Eastmond comes alive with plans and designs for his new Saratoga. He is about as easy going as most of his plans. "This piece of land has fantastic recreational potential and I am ready to turn it into that," he says, scanning his hand across the banks of Utah Lake. He has been working with the Utah County planning commission in hopes zone for of creating a special recreational vehicles on the lake. During the past year he has traveled extensively throughout the western states checking into rv parks and recreational areas. Presently there is no zone for recreational vehicles on the lake and county officials are checking into the possibilities. After Mr. Eastmond completes his renovations on the ride portion of the land, he intends to concentrate his efforts on developing the recreational area. "Right I A special section is being constructed for volleyball, baseball and horseshoes also. "We want this to he a place where people can come and relax," Mr. Eastmond said. "Here they can swim, fish, hike, play a little baseball...it's just a perfect place to come and get away from everything." He expects the first phase of his renovations to take until the end of the year. Then he says he will really get into the plans for developing the rest of the land. Condominiums along with an rv park are being considered for the remainder of the land. An island, extended boat dock, hiking, snowmobile trails and possibly a small hopping area are also in the plans. Mr. Eastmond said he really likes the Sweetwater development on Bear Lake. There, he said, the atmosphere is pleasant and they have a number of recreational facilities available. "People need a place close to home where they can keep their boats or trailers or even have a condominium," he explained. "If its close enough they can enjoy it more than once a year. Bear Lake is quite a drive," he added. Two large wells have already been drilled in the possible construction area. Mr. Eastmond said he does not anticipate building for a while, at least until the end of the year. Reservations for picnics and parties at Saratoga are still being filled daily. When people call to make reservations, Eastmond says most of them are glad the rides are gone so they can relax and enjoy the water and picnic area . "We are charging for reservations this year," he said. "Too many people would cancel and there we would sit with empty grounds and no one there." The park will be open in May and Mr, Eastmond doesn't expect a drastic decline in attendance. Last year over 150,000 people passed through Saratoga's gates. Saratoga, minus its famous rides, is still unique and Mr. Eastmond would like to enhance that image with his planned developments. It's important to him that things be done right so he is planning each step carefully. He doesn't want to abuse his land or make mistakes. In the meantime the pools will still be hot, the fishings great, and the volleyball net should be up by next week. mag - search have selected.
