is a census-designated place (CDP) in Tooele County, Utah, United States. The population was 2,385 at the 2000 census; the 1990 census population was 1,049.
Stansbury Park is located in the northern end of Tooele Valley at the base of the Oquirrh Mountains. Traveling by Interstate 80, Stansbury Park is 35 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City.
Stansbury Park was put forth by the original developer (Terracor) as a planned community with a lake for sailing and canoeing, an eighteen-hole golf course, clubhouse, swimming pool, and parks. Although the original developer withdrew from the scene in the 1980s due to bankruptcy, that plan has generally been followed. The parks throughout Stansbury Park include baseball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, play areas for children, skateboard park, and an astronomical observatory. In addition, 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 water from this lake is piped around the Oquirrh Mountain Range (east of Stansbury Park) to the Kennecott Company's copper mine refinery operation.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 1.5 square miles (3.8 km²), of which, 1.3 square miles (3.3 km²) of it is land and 0.2 square miles (0.5 km²) of it (12.84%) is water.
