If you’ve been to Park City but not experienced all that the Olympic Park has to offer, you’ve been missing out on some serious fun. Utah Olympic Park is not only worth the visit because it’s the area where many of the world’s very best winter athletes gathered to compete for their country in the 2002 Winter Olympics, it’s also a place with unique family activities for all ages and activity levels. Though Park City is often most known as being a ski town that comes to life in the winter, the summer and fall are great times to come to the Olympic Park and participate in the various sports, games and events that are available.
Sports are a great way for kids to build self-confidence and make friends while being involved in something worthwhile and fun.

Utah Olympic Park is also an ideal spot for corporate team building initiatives and activities that take employees out of the office and into the great outdoors as they further learn to work together and build trust and friendship. A Base Camp is available for providing team obstacle courses and activities while fostering cooperation and communication among participants. The great outdoors of Park City provides the perfect backdrop for Canyon & Summit Course Exclusive Sessions where teams can take on more challenging obstacle courses together as they test their balance and coordination 25-55 feet in the air from swinging platforms and various ropes.
Lots of family activities for pure fun are available as well including the ever popular Alpine Slide that allows riders to steer themselves down the mountainside as quickly or as leisurely as they decide while enjoying the scenery on the way down. The various ziplines are also great choices for all athletic abilities and ages to ride side by side in the air from one side of the mountain to the other.
The best way to discover all that Utah Olympic Park has to offer is by visiting it yourself and making the most of all Park City provides in outdoor activity and entertainment.
