The Utah Olympic Park was a competition
venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter
Games for Nordic jumping and the
sliding sports of bobsleigh, luge
and skeleton. The nearly 400-acre
Park features a mixture of sporting
facilities and visitor areas for
an incredible Olympic experience.
The state-of-the-art park hosted
more than 300,000 visitors and 14
Olympic medal events in February
2002.
The
Utah Olympic Park, a U.S. Olympic
Training site, now serves as a year-round
competition and training ground
for recreational and high-performance
athletes. Visitors can watch athletes
in training, visit the Alf Engen
Ski History Museum and the 2002
Eccles Winter Olympic Museum, race
down the track in a bobsled, or
learn how to steer your own skeleton
or luge by taking an Intro camp.
Admission to Utah Olympic Park is

The
Park is owned by a non-profit organization,
the Utah Athletic Foundation which
is responsible for keeping the Park
and the Utah Olympic Oval operating
for use by future athletes, world
champions and the general public.
