Allen Park, commonly known as "Hobbitville," is an eight-acre property in Salt Lake City, Utah. The park was developed in the 1930s by Dr. George A. Allen as a bird sanctuary and later became the subject of local folklore, with myths suggesting it was inhabited by small, secretive people. Despite these stories, the park was primarily a residential area and has since been preserved as a public space following its purchase by Salt Lake City in 2020.
