Utah Olympic Park - Park City's Olympic Legacy
Built for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games and already preparing for its return role in the 2034 Winter Olympics, the Utah Olympic Park is one of Park City's most celebrated and historically significant Olympic venues. Located just minutes from downtown Park City at Kimball Junction, this nearly 400-acre facility is open to the public year-round and offers a remarkable combination of Olympic history, world-class athlete training, and thrilling family adventures that is unique to the Park City Utah area.
Activities for Every Age and Ability
The Utah Olympic Park is far more than a museum - it's an active hands-on adventure destination for the whole family. Summer highlights include:
- Freestyle and Extreme Ziplines - soar over the same Nordic ski jump terrain used by Olympic athletes, reaching speeds of 40 mph with breathtaking views of the Wasatch Mountains.
- Comet Bobsled - ride the actual 2002 Olympic bobsled track with a professional pilot at speeds up to 60 mph and experience up to the 5G's of force - one of the most unforgettable and thrilling experiences in Park City!
- Alpine Slide - a scenic and exhilarating ride down the mountain - perfect for all ages
- Discovery Ropes Course - multiple challenge levels designed for both kids and adults - ideal for families with children of varying ages
- Extreme Tubing - tube down the legendary Nordic ski jump landing hill for a unique Park City Utah thrill
Winter brings its own set of adventures with the Comet Bobsled operating seasonally and the park's stunning snow covered landscape.
Watch Olympic Athletes Train - For Free
One of the most unique and underrated experiences at the Utah Olympic Park is watching the next generation of Olympic hopefuls train. During the summer months, freestyle aerial skiers launch off training ramps and perform breathtaking acrobatic maneuvers before landing in a 1.25 million gallon swimming pool - a jaw-dropping spectacle that costs nothing to watch! It's a reminder that this isn't just a tourist venue - it's an active United States Olympic Training Site where tomorrow's Olympic athletes are training today.
