Utah Olympic Park
In July 1999, ownership of the Park was transferred to the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games of 2002 and the venue was renamed the Utah Olympic Park.
The Park underwent a series of upgrades and renovations in preparation for the Games, including the construction of the K-120 ski jump and reconfiguration of the K-90. Additionally, the master plan included design of the venue's common areas, infrastructure, transportation system and entrances. The design and engineering phases of all projects were completed in September 1999 with construction completed in the fall of 2000.
General construction costs were $33 million for sliding track, $21 million for the ski jumps, $6 million for infrastructure and $2.5 million for Day Lodge and freestyle splash pool. During the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, the venue accommodated more than 300,000 visitors during the 16 days of competition. The Park was the site for 14 events -- three in ski jumping, three in Nordic combined, three in bobsled, three in luge and two in skeleton.
Today the mission of the Utah Olympic Park is to provide a year-round, world-class facility to develop athletes in winter sports through competition, training and recreational programs.
