[[Drinking water]] for Stansbury Park comes from [[Water well|deep wells]] about two miles southeast of the park, east of [[Utah State Route 36]]. Originally, the golf course was watered from another deep well within the Park boundary at the southeast corner, but that water had such a high level of [[Hard water|hardness]] that it was abandoned in 1985 and the potable-water well is now also used to serve the golf course. [[Sanitary sewer|Sewer]] service is provided by a lagoon complex northwest of the community (north of [[Utah State Route 138]]). These services are administered by the Stansbury Park Improvement District.

The golf course, swimming pool, and common areas within Stansbury Park were originally administered by two separate service districts (Stansbury Greenbelt Service Area #1 and SGSA #2), but since August 1992 have been administered by a combined district, the Stansbury Service Agency, whose volunteer, unpaid board members are elected by the population.

Woodland Park, near the southeast end of Stansbury Park, contains trees which existed before the development started. The park area was the site of a large horse stable complex before and during the first part of the area's present development. It presently contains a children's playground and a basketball court.

[[Benson Grist Mill]], north of the original area of Stansbury Park, is a restoration of an actual nineteenth-century water-powered (powered by waterflow from The Mill Pond) wheat-grinding mill built on that site, and has grown into a recreational and historical interest area.

Stansbury Lake, southwest of The Mill Pond, is a manmade lake. A peninsula which extends into the lake, called ''Captain's Island'', contains 178 houses, and there are another 143 houses along the lake's shores. The lake is noted for its boating (non-motor-powered boats only, although electric motors are now allowed), swimming, and fishing. Resident fish include bluegill, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, grass carp, and yellow perch. Black crappie were planted at one time but have apparently not continued. Carp have been introduced at times in attempts to control weed growth in the lake.

The original addressing scheme for Stansbury Park was to divide the area into ''neighborhoods'', each with a name and with the houses therein to be numbered from 1 to XXX. The three original neighborhoods were ''Country Club'', ''Lake View'', and ''Mill Pond'' (which consisted of blocks of [[Condominium (living space)|condominium]]s rather than individual houses). This addressing system is confusing to resident and outsider alike, and areas developed since 1990 have abandoned that concept, instead using individual street names and house numbers which integrate into the [[Tooele, Utah|Tooele City]] numbering system (although the starting point of Tooele City's numbering system is some seven miles distant).

Stansbury Park has an active community association, originally named the ''Stansbury Park Homeowners Association'', but now named the ''Stansbury Park Community Association''. This organization grants preliminary approval to housing and remodeling plans within the service area (Tooele County Engineering Department grants final approval), and organizes outdoor activities such as ''Stansbury Days'' every third Saturday in August, Easter Egg hunts, gardening classes and other local celebrations such as fireworks displays on holidays. In its early days it published an annual telephone/address directory covering the area.
