“The Sandlot” was filmed almost entirely in Utah, mainly around Salt Lake City, Midvale, and Ogden, even though the story is set in California’s San Fernando Valley.

Main filming spots

  • The actual sandlot field was built on a vacant lot behind 1388 Glenrose Drive in Salt Lake City, Utah.
  • Many neighborhood scenes, including the boys’ homes and local streets, were shot in residential parts of Salt Lake City and Midvale.
  • Additional scenes were filmed in Ogden, Utah, helping round out the suburban 1960s look the filmmakers wanted.

Iconic scene locations

  • The famous pool scene with Wendy Peffercorn was filmed at Valley Vista (Lorin Farr) pool in Ogden, Utah.
  • The game against the well-dressed rival team was filmed at a field in Rose Park/Riverside Park in Salt Lake City.
  • The pro‑ballpark footage uses Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, one of the few scenes not shot in Utah.
