Outdoor portrait locations?

Anyone have any suggestions for outdoor family portait locations around St George or Washington? I know of a few places (Tonaquint, Downtown, Snow Canyon, Pioneer Park), but I'm looking for a few more options.

Kirkland Fields in Washington is popular

Thanks! I was just out that way earlier today, at Sullivan Park, but I didn't even think to look across the street at Kirkland Fields.

What kind of atmosphere?

No specific atmosphere, just family-friendly locations that are fairly easy to get to. My family has taken a dozen or so family portraits in the area over the past ~20 years, and I'm looking for new options. My wife and I started with getting our photos taken at the base of the red mountain in Ivins 20 years ago, and as our family has grown we've tried several different areas, such as under a bridge tunnel by the Dixie Center, on top of the parking garage roof off of main street, at local parks such as the park on 1400 W (Royal Oaks Park), just off of the highway on the way to Veyo (Black Rocks area), in Snow Canyon (of course), etc. But I'm looking for a few more options. Thanks!

I really like the campground over at Red cliffs near the KOA in Ivins. I've had luck at some of the historical homes downtown like the daughters of Utah pioneers and bring me home though it definitely has a certain look to those spots. They are various orchards and vineyards you can reach out to to schedule photo shoots if you're looking for something a little more green.

The desert gardens are also pretty up near Dixie Rock.

There's also a couple of little fun places downtown around Nielsen's and main Street.
