Homestead resort is a hot spring in midway, about 20 minutes from park city. It's alright if you need to kill an afternoon. It's in heber valley, which is beautiful. There are many beautiful lakes within about an hour drive from park city, but they are in an area called the high uinta wilderness that still has 10 feet of snow right now. Homestead and midway are your best close bet for Park City.
If you are doing 2 days at a national park, I'd say go do Bryce canyon the first day, get a cheap hotel, and do Zion the second day. Hikes in Bryce are sunset point for sunset time, Wall Street hike for day time. Do angels landing in Zion, and you will get the Utah park experience. The only thing you miss out on by doing this is delicate arch. These are the important things that you should see on a very short trip to Utah's parks.
Bryce canyon is known for rock formations called hoodoos, you will see plenty of those on the Wall Street hike.
Zion's is known for stunning big wall sandstone canyons. There are two ways to experience this canyons the best, and angels landing is the ideal way to do that this time of year, as the other option is still covered in snow.
Hope that helps.
