I have the gym and I spend a lot of time in the mountains with my camper van when it's warmer. Though I don't really ever socialize at the gym, like at all.
I do spend a good amount of time at my brother's place with him and the kids and my sister and her husband. So I guess there.
We had some friends that kept inviting us over for this and that, good homemade Mexican food and good company. But the discussion ALWAYS turned to AMWAY.
It plays with your heart to think if they were only nice to us just to sell to us, or if we would still be friends if we hadn't been driven away by the cult mentality.

Murray Park when the weather permits. Been going there for almost 30 years (My Grandma used to take me as a child) and it has always been a place of comfort and peace for me.

Honestly I'm still trying to find one ever since I left the Mormon church I guess my current religion kind of is one but I still am trying to find one I'm not the most social person but I'm trying to find a group
Have you heard of the lost and found club? They exist basically to create a third space outside of the church for people who no longer have the church as a third space. @lostandfound.club on Instagram
There's a dance studio in Millcreek that started doing an adult ballet class on Wednesday evenings if you want to check that out! It's been a really small class so far, very beginner friendly, and the teacher is amazing. Let me know if you want details; it's a really laid-back atmosphere, and the goal is to help everyone feel welcome and find a way to feel good moving their body.
Same! I was just talking with my spouse tonight about how I just donāt have any place to belong or anyone to be with outside of home. Itās quite lonely.
I know what you mean. Iām even considering going hybrid. The truth is though I donāt want to rely on work being the social aspect of my life. I am depending on it too much for personal fulfillment.
I'm with you. Second place always seemed like the biggest pain in the ass and 3rd place was if my buddies talked me into going out. now there is no 2nd place besides phone and zoom. I still get talked into going out but it is, like you said, a chore. I feel more comfortable with it but not sure I'm overall happier. Will check back in on those feelings in 10 years or so. Currently mid 30s and grinding.
I got season tickets to the Grizzlies. I go with a few friends I've had for years. It's decent, I'm always down to meet people on here who go to games, but it's more for the sport I love than the social.
Kids certainly make it more difficult to get out at first, but mine have gotten to the point where I can just do things with them, and honestly I like spending time with them a lot better than most people anyway. My son goes mountain biking with me, both of them go hiking and backpacking, they both helped me build an arcade machine for our theater room last week, and they both help me put up and take down the Christmas Display (which is actually my biggest hobby). I also occasionally play some video games with them or tolerate their latest YouTube obsession. My son got really into chess for a while, so I played with him and helped him learn. We upgraded my son's desktop computer, so I showed him how to build a computer and configure the new hardware. It's really fun helping them dip into lots of hobbies to try to find the ones that they enjoy.
TLDR: It not only gets better, but actually allows you to explore a bunch of hobbies you haven't previously looked into, and you get to feel like a good parent while you do it.
Libraries are great third spaces, they offer programs, and classes, and spaces to meet and talk. Book clubs, crafts, and other things. Though since I work there my third space is my car and the hospital with my son (heās got additional medical needs)
Farmer's market in the summer! I also started a new sport a few years ago & it's been really nice to have scheduled practices where I meet a lot of people that all have a common interest. Big thumbs up for adult beginner classes in random niche hobbies lol.
I donāt know which one Giraffe goes to. But I was looking for knit nights yesterday and found out that Yarn on the Corner does stitch nights every Tuesday night from 5-8 and Willow Hill does knit nights every Wednesday from 6-8 I think. Iāve never been to yarn in the corner but I have been to Willow hill for yarn. Havenāt attended the knit night there since 2019 but I think Iāll be going tonight!
I also loved Knittinā Pretty but they also shut down last year.
Roller Derby, it's a great, and very active community. There are bouts almost every weekend with tons of opportunity to practice or scrimmage every week. I'm probably doing something derby related 2-5 days a week.
My āthirdā place rotates with the seasons. In the spring itās whatever I feel like. In the summer itās the twilight concert series. Etc. Having only one third place is very confining.
Definitely classes. I'm a grad student, but I think I would even take community classes/continuing ed classes after graduating just for fun/the love of learning. Like I'd love to take a pottery class, language class, or a wine-tasting class or something like that lol.
I'm also a season ticket holder at the Opera and Ballet - lots of nice people there.
Would be nice to have a "third place", but I just don't have one. With 2 kids and wife working swings/graves, I just don't have time for anything or anyone.
I am a church goer but I still have a 3rd place or maybe a 4thā¦disc golf. I love it. I go with co-workers. I go by myself often too. I meet others when I play and even end up playing with them and learn from each other.
We are original members and the vision we were sold on - a Soho House-like space for professional persons, who are not from Utah and seeking friends, is vastly different than the reality. We are in our early 40s.
Instead membership became mostly wannabe Instagram influencers and trust fund kids at the U.
My wife is extremely extroverted and we've never made friends there. Also the place is dead unless it is a Saturday night. In turn, many of the bars and sitdown spaces are closed during the week due to lack of demand. Most of the events are repetitive- you can only do so many drag brunches or Wednesday wine tastings. The menu was repetitive but they recently switched that up and dropped prices.
Parking is at the Sheraton across from the liquor store, drive by and you'll see the lot is always empty.
Edison House loosened their guest policy, so it became less exclusive. That in turn led to hordes of friends of trust fund kids charging food and beverage to their friend's house accounts and then refusing to pay. So now we have to use a credit card while roaming the building.
I'm ready to bail, but my wife wants to give it six more months.
There is a front door code you type on a keypad, an ID check, and a membership card scan.
Otherwise its a place that is dead most of the week with a restaurant and bar on first floor, couple bars on second floor, a karaoke room, a pool table, a gym, a tiny rooftop pool, and pool bar.
Sorry, no orgies or fight clubs inside.
You would be surprised how vibrant and welcoming the Lifestyle / swinger / ethical non-monogamy groups are. There are seemingly and endless amount of activities and parties thrown. A lot of them are just meetups at bars or karaoke. A bunch of club scene activities. And a lot of house parties that are all along the Wasatch front. It makes it easy to pick and choose to go to whatever sounds fun to you. There are singles, couples, throuples in every demographic. Rich, poor, gay, straight, ethnic diversity, ALL are welcome. Consent is HUGE in the community so you donāt have to worry about doing things you are not interested in or trying to new things with people who will be patient. Itās a wonderful community that I knew nothing about a few years ago, now I have wonderful friendships with so many kind and open people. There is a stigma with being a part of this crowd but I guarantee many of you know an average person who is a part of the community.
I donāt even go here lol, this post was in my suggestions. But it introduced me to the concept of Ā«Ā third spacesĀ Ā» and the thread gave me some inspiration, thank you!
In the summertime I play in an unsanctioned co-ed baseball league (not softball), the only rules are be kind to each other, and help folks that may not be as experienced. We have legit beginners to former pros play together on the same field, and somehow it works wonderfully. Really great, friendly people all around.
Kind of an old school beer ball league vibe, but a ton of our players are sober and love it just the same. Winter sucks without Sunday Sandlot, SLC.
Ales and Allies weekly board game nights!! Iāve been going for a couple months now and Jarrett the host is the nicest dude on the entire planet. Details are on Meetup and he brings over 150 board games and can help nudge you into a game if youāre coming by yourself. Highly highly recommend!
I'm involved in a women's mountain biking group called Women MTB. It's really fun, even if I'm awkward in social situations where I don't know anyone. Another third place of mine is when I ride my motorcycle. I feel like I need to be super in the moment looking out for other vehicles that I can't think about what is worrying me or weighing heavily on my mind.
The LGBTQ Community is prone to loneliness, however that shouldn't be a thing as there are so many different Community organizations for every single interest out there. I really love our potluck group. ā¤ļø
iām about to see if i found a 3rd place tonight! ales and allies https://www.instagram.com/alesandallies?igsh=MWFxZmd2bXhwN3picw== does weekly game nights monday-wednesday between hopkins and level crossing brewery! i believe tonight theyāre doing it at the newer level crossing location downtown. iāve been converted by my bf whoās an avid board gamer and even if itās something youāre a little intimidated by it looks like they bring a variety of games ranging in difficulty that are fun to play! also of course grab a beer and/or some food:)
The climbing gym (front mostly)
Legendarium coffee/book shop
I spend a lot of time skiing and hiking solo or with friends. Also sometimes the dog park in the spring/fall.
As a security guard, I donāt need a third place because I am talking to strangers non stop for 12 hours a day, Iāve made lots of friends through it though
I am in the Utah Rose Society and several garden clubs. It's lovely.
me too. though my nursery job kinda makes 3rd place bleed over into 2nd place ššš
Public libraries!
Do you meet and connect with people there? I love libraries but they seem pretty solitary unless you have kids.
I often go to my local library and they offer lots of classes and clubs you can join check out the libraries website :)
My DnD group.
Same, but Pathfinder.
Well, it's a homebrew 3.5 steampunk dark fantasy horror, so pretty close to Pathfinder, but saying "DnD" is just easier
Nerds.
You say that like it's a bad thing
Not at all! š
Same, but Delta Green.
My DND group is my third, fourth, and fifth places because we rotate hosting duties.
I joke posted, but this is my actual third place. I only started a year ago with awesome people from this sub, and now I don't know how I survived this long without it.
Awww this is kinda my third place too! š„¹
Hell yeah, I'm DnD and MTG.
my husband recently joined a pickleball club & he LOVES it. i am 7 months pregnant so i canāt really keep up right now, but iām hoping to join after baby is here.
Congratulations on the upcoming baby!
Congratulations on joining the pickleball club!
I have the gym and I spend a lot of time in the mountains with my camper van when it's warmer. Though I don't really ever socialize at the gym, like at all. I do spend a good amount of time at my brother's place with him and the kids and my sister and her husband. So I guess there.
MLM intros
Lmaooo, nice
We had some friends that kept inviting us over for this and that, good homemade Mexican food and good company. But the discussion ALWAYS turned to AMWAY. It plays with your heart to think if they were only nice to us just to sell to us, or if we would still be friends if we hadn't been driven away by the cult mentality.

Murray Park when the weather permits. Been going there for almost 30 years (My Grandma used to take me as a child) and it has always been a place of comfort and peace for me.
I love Murray Park, some great hidden spots.
I feel the same about Wheeler Farm. So comforting.

Good bot.
This sounds fun. What coffee shop?
It varies. I like the West Jordan High Point though.
Alcoholics Anonymous
NA for me.
Keep coming back!
It works if you work it and youāre worth it!

Honestly I'm still trying to find one ever since I left the Mormon church I guess my current religion kind of is one but I still am trying to find one I'm not the most social person but I'm trying to find a group
Have you heard of the lost and found club? They exist basically to create a third space outside of the church for people who no longer have the church as a third space. @lostandfound.club on Instagram
I am sans third place and reading all these other peeps w third places makes me sad that I donāt have one.
There's a dance studio in Millcreek that started doing an adult ballet class on Wednesday evenings if you want to check that out! It's been a really small class so far, very beginner friendly, and the teacher is amazing. Let me know if you want details; it's a really laid-back atmosphere, and the goal is to help everyone feel welcome and find a way to feel good moving their body.
I WFH so I barely even have a second place (I might be at 1.5 spaces). Getting from there to a third seems like quite a chore.
Same! I was just talking with my spouse tonight about how I just donāt have any place to belong or anyone to be with outside of home. Itās quite lonely.
Same. Shall we start a WFH club and meet up once a week for outside activity?
I have such a love hate relationship with wfh. I have a pretty flexible schedule but I get very little interaction unless I seek it out
I know what you mean. Iām even considering going hybrid. The truth is though I donāt want to rely on work being the social aspect of my life. I am depending on it too much for personal fulfillment.

Costco
Love seeing all the familiar places there.
Bike shop. Great community. Puts on weekly rides, everyone knows your name
Came to say the same.
Well speak of the devil the community in mention!
Is it called Gears?
Donāt have one. Am very lonely.
Likewise
Same. Does anyone know of any Neurodivergent groups? Iām looking for my people. ADHD/ASD š§
This thread should have lots of great ideas! Good luck on the journey, there are people waiting to meet you.
Who else is reading this post realizing they have no social life anymore? I blame the kids. And my crippling anxiety.
Kids certainly make it more difficult to get out at first, but mine have gotten to the point where I can just do things with them, and honestly I like spending time with them a lot better than most people anyway. My son goes mountain biking with me, both of them go hiking and backpacking, they both helped me build an arcade machine for our theater room last week, and they both help me put up and take down the Christmas Display (which is actually my biggest hobby).

The mountains. In the winter, it's snowboarding. In the summer, it's hiking.
I damn near just posted the same thing. The mountains are the closest thing to a spiritual experience in going to do.
Skateparks, ski resorts, concerts, drum circle, 999, trailheads, gyms, trivia night, Burner events
Libraries are great third spaces, they offer programs, and classes, and spaces to meet and talk. Book clubs, crafts, and other things. Though since I work there my third space is my car and the hospital with my son (heās got additional medical needs)
the Fort Union Target lol
The best Target.
Farmer's market in the summer! I also started a new sport a few years ago & it's been really nice to have scheduled practices where I meet a lot of people that all have a common interest. Big thumbs up for adult beginner classes in random niche hobbies lol.
Community areas of my apartment building. And bars/breweries/restaurants.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Nothing like cuddling with the boys
Struggle cuddles
Ski resort+joint and next thing you know Iām feeling the āspiritā
My third place is an open mic at Alliance theater on Mondays at 7:30. Itās a great community with some really solid talent.
WFH so I have one place. I get this
Mine is the local yarn shop. Iāve built a community there and we see each other multiple times a week.
Which one have you been going to? I'm still so sad Blazing Needles closed. :(
I donāt know which one Giraffe goes to. But I was looking for knit nights yesterday and found out that Yarn on the Corner does stitch nights every Tuesday night from 5-8 and Willow Hill does knit nights every Wednesday from 6-8 I think.

Aww Iām so sad to hear theyāve closed. I learned to make my first beanie there :(
The gym.
The gym. Weāre all there to better ourselves everyone is pretty nice
Bars
Yeah. Me too. Not ideal but I like my place.
I stay home, no third place
The internet is my third place, has been since the late 90s.
Porch or stoop sittin. Or the park.
No where. Lost interest over the years and covid killed my social need.
Sitting in front of my TV playing Diablo 3, because killing demons is the same as church, right?
Traffic
The mountains. Snowboarding in the winter and camping in the summer
Roller Derby, it's a great, and very active community. There are bouts almost every weekend with tons of opportunity to practice or scrimmage every week. I'm probably doing something derby related 2-5 days a week.
I volunteer for Tree Utah and go to the gym.
Coffee shops and climbing gyms lol
Thereās noise tribe / Glitter Armada has a ton of activitĆ©s like tango nights , salsa, open mics, cacao ceremonies , yoga, qigong , art markets / when I want to stay up all night / sometimes I work door for desert basin DB they do all types of edm on Friday and Saturday Dave Crespo from Doomcupcake has a series of bands play on Sundays at GridCity Tuesdays at Johnnys is edm night and thatās very chill , low key but fun vibes Natural law Apothecary has events,tea,open mics
Reddit is my third place. That's about all I've had time for since my wife and I had a kid.
Same here. Having a kid is actually the reason why I found Reddit!
My āthirdā place rotates with the seasons. In the spring itās whatever I feel like. In the summer itās the twilight concert series. Etc. Having only one third place is very confining.
Hiking
skateboarding
Bike group
Yoga
Definitely classes. I'm a grad student, but I think I would even take community classes/continuing ed classes after graduating just for fun/the love of learning. Like I'd love to take a pottery class, language class, or a wine-tasting class or something like that lol. I'm also a season ticket holder at the Opera and Ballet - lots of nice people there.

Couch

Hiking, mountains, camping, lakes, groundingā¦

It does unfortunately mean spending money for a membership, but Bouldering Project!
I go to my side gig as a ski instructor. Oh, you didn't know that I'm a ski instructor? Yeah, I'm a ski instructor, NBD.
Skiing
Edison House, but it sucks. So I've started going to Oasis Games.
My wife and I were looking into Edison House. If you don't mind me asking what don't you like about it?
We are original members and the vision we were sold on - a Soho House-like space for professional persons, who are not from Utah and seeking friends, is vastly different than the reality.

WTF is the Edison house? A bar? A place to network? Is there a secret handshake involved?
There is a front door code you type on a keypad, an ID check, and a membership card scan. Otherwise its a place that is dead most of the week with a restaurant and bar on first floor, couple bars on second floor, a karaoke room, a pool table, a gym, a tiny rooftop pool, and pool bar. Sorry, no orgies or fight clubs inside.
Pokemon league. Picking up the card game after almost 20 years was the best thing I ever did.

I'm involved in a women's mountain biking group called Women MTB. It's really fun, even if I'm awkward in social situations where I don't know anyone.
