Where Olympians still fly off ski jumps and rocket down the bobsled track, a living legacy of the 2002 Winter Games open to visitors year-round.
Utah Olympic Park is a living monument to the 2002 Winter Olympics, built in the mountains near Park City to host ski jumping, bobsled, luge, and skeleton. Rather than falling silent after the Games, it became a thriving year-round training center where aspiring and elite winter athletes still hone their craft, and where visitors can watch them and even try a taste of the action themselves.
The park combines the thrill of a working sports venue with attractions for everyone. Visitors can watch ski jumpers launch into the air and sliders rocket down the track, ride a zip line or the bobsled, tour the grounds, and explore a museum devoted to the 2002 Games and the history of skiing. It is a place where Olympic history is not just remembered but continued.

Learn about Utah Olympic Park
A working Olympic legacy
When the 2002 Winter Olympics came to Utah, this park hosted the ski jumping, bobsled, luge, and skeleton events. Unlike many Olympic venues that fade after the closing ceremony, Utah Olympic Park was designed to endure as a training and development center, and it has done exactly that.
Today national teams and up-and-coming athletes train here on the jumps and the sliding track, so visitors often share the venue with real competitors at work. That living, active quality sets the park apart, giving it the energy of a genuine sports center rather than a static memorial.
Thrills for visitors
The park invites visitors to experience the venue firsthand through a range of activities. In summer, zip lines, an alpine slide, ropes courses, and an extreme tubing hill run down the slopes, and freestyle skiers practice aerial flips into a splash pool for crowds to watch.
In winter, visitors can ride a bobsled down the actual Olympic track with a trained pilot, a heart-pounding rush few venues offer to the public. The mix of adrenaline activities means there is a way for nearly anyone to feel a bit of the Olympic thrill, from gentle to genuinely intense.
Museums and tours
For those who prefer to learn and watch rather than launch themselves down a track, the park offers guided tours of the grounds and a pair of museums, one dedicated to the 2002 Winter Olympics and another to the broader history of skiing and mountain sports in the region.
The exhibits capture the excitement of the Games and the deep skiing heritage of Utah's mountains, while tours take visitors close to the jumps and track for a behind-the-scenes look. It is an engaging stop for families and sports fans of all kinds.
Park City and the Wasatch
The Olympic park sits just outside Park City, a former silver-mining town turned premier mountain resort community, whose historic main street and world-class ski areas make it a natural base. The Wasatch Mountains around it are famous for their light, deep snow.
This high mountain country is part of the ancestral homeland of the Ute people, whose ties to the Wasatch long predate the mines and resorts. Summer and winter each bring their own set of activities to the park, so the season shapes the visit, but the museums and the sense of Olympic history welcome guests year-round.
