S&S Screamin' Swing · Opening March 28, 2026
Lagoon Amusement Park — already one of the top reasons families move to Farmington — just got even better. The Nutcracker is an S&S Screamin' Swing that towers nearly 150 feet in the sky (the same height as Lagoon's Sky Coaster) and hits top speeds of 68 mph. You can literally see it from I-15. It opens March 28, 2026, near Biergarten.
120,000 sq ft arena · Opened September 17, 2025
The former Legacy Event Center has been completely transformed into Western Sports Park — a 55-acre sports campus with a brand-new 120,000 sq ft arena. It officially opened September 17, 2025, and is already hosting major youth sports tournaments, concerts, and community events. This is the largest sports and entertainment facility in Northern Utah.
New full interchange · Completing 2026
UDOT is building a brand-new full interchange at I-15 and Shepard Lane (now officially renamed North Station Lane). The new bridge opened November 24, 2025, restoring east-west connectivity. The full interchange — with on/off ramps — is expected to open by end of 2026. This is a game-changer for the entire North Farmington Station development area.
SMART master-planned development · Coming soon
North Farmington Station is the most ambitious development project in Davis County history. Built on approximately 350 acres northwest of Station Park Mall and the FrontRunner station, it's being developed by STACK Real Estate as a SMART (Sustainable, Modern, Accessible, Resilient, Transit-oriented) live-work-play community. Think walkable streets, mixed-use buildings, office space, retail, and residential — all connected to FrontRunner and the new I-15 interchange.
Bill Bergin Golf Designs · Reopened October 22, 2025
Oakridge Country Club (1492 Shepard Lane, Farmington) completed a major golf course renovation under renowned architect Bill Bergin Golf Designs. The renovation preserved and modernized Arthur Hills' original design while enhancing the course's playability and aesthetics. The grand reopening was October 22, 2025. Oakridge is a private, member-owned 18-hole championship course that has been a cornerstone of Farmington's lifestyle since 1957.

Farmington, Utah has long been one of Davis County's most desirable cities — and in 2025 and 2026, it's undergoing a transformation that will cement its status as one of the premier communities along the Wasatch Front. From the new I-15 interchange at North Station Lane to the 350-acre North Farmington Station master-planned community, the city is investing heavily in infrastructure and amenities that will drive home values for years to come.
Lagoon Amusement Park — already a beloved Utah institution since 1886 — continues to invest in world-class attractions. The Nutcracker, opening March 28, 2026, is the park's newest thrill ride and the latest reason families choose Farmington over neighboring cities. Meanwhile, Western Sports Park (formerly the Legacy Event Center) opened its brand-new 120,000 sq ft arena in September 2025, making Farmington a destination for sports tournaments, concerts, and major events from across the region.
The Oakridge Country Club renovation, completed under Bill Bergin Golf Designs with a grand reopening on October 22, 2025, adds another layer of lifestyle prestige to the city. And with the Shepard Lane / North Station Lane interchange completing in 2026, the entire northwest Farmington corridor is poised for explosive growth.
