The Crossroads / Tonaquint neighborhood sits on the west side of St. George, between Bluff Street and the Santa Clara River. The area is one of the older west-side residential and mixed-use zones in the city, organized around Tonaquint Park (a working city park with athletic fields, pickleball courts, and the river trail) and the older commercial intersection where Sunset Boulevard meets the Bluff Street and west-side arterials. The “Tonaquint” name preserves a Southern Paiute place name used by 19th-century Mormon settlers for the Santa Clara River area.
An older west-side residential pattern
The neighborhood developed gradually through the 20th century as St. George expanded west from the original pioneer grid. Most of the residential stock is mid-century to late-20th-century — older than the post-2000 master-plans on the south and east sides, with smaller lots and a mixed pattern of single-family homes, townhomes, and commercial parcels. The Santa Clara River runs along the south boundary, and the river trail provides the working pedestrian-and-cycling corridor through the neighborhood.
Tonaquint Park
Tonaquint Park is the city park anchor for the neighborhood — athletic fields, the city pickleball courts, the Tonaquint Cemetery (city-owned), and a trail connection along the Santa Clara River. The pickleball courts are part of the city’s broader pickleball infrastructure that includes the Little Valley complex and the Bicentennial Park courts, and Tonaquint hosts league play and tournaments year-round.
What the neighborhood is for
Crossroads / Tonaquint is one of the older mixed-use west-side neighborhoods in St. George — established residential character, working city-park anchor, and proximity to the Sunset Boulevard / Bluff Street commercial corridor. The neighborhood is one of the few in St. George where a 19th-century Paiute place name is preserved in the working civic infrastructure (park, cemetery, trail).
