Park City now has the bragging rights to the nations first all e-bike share program. Summit County Councilman Roger Armstrong took his first e-bike ( pedal assisted electric motor) ride last summer and felt that this may be one of solutions needed to get people out of cars and trying alternative means of transportation,” he relates. This summer, thanks in part to a $500,000 grant landed by Summit County staff and the Utah Transit Authority, Armstrong’s alternative transit vision becomes reality with the launch of Utah’s first e-bike share in Park City. There will be approximately 88 Bewegen e-bikes distributed between nine stations: four at Kimball Junction, one at Canyons Transit Center, and four within

Promontory has created a new amenity for their luxury private golf community, something so unique that is surely to be a hit. The Beach House is now open and for Park City, we have never seen anything quite like it!
A stone’s throw from the Nicklaus Clubhouse, the Promontory Beach House has opened in July 2017, just in time for the summer's hot weather months. The Beach House includes a large patio and cafe, adjacent to a large wading pool, then something really unique, a large pond surrounded by beautiful white sand. Docks and cabanas look out across the pond, and enjoy the zing views looking west to the ski runs at Park City ski resort.
This brings even more family fun options for members and guest of Promontory Club. The Beach House features
If you have ever spent a July 4th holiday here in Park City, you know the locals take this day of celebration quite seriously. The best bet is to make your way up to Main Street by about 10am, after the pancake breakfast in City Park. Find a spot on Main Street, or meander through the crowd and enjoy the parade and running into many people you know, or meet new friends. As the parade ends, the crowd funnels down to City Park and there you're likely to remain for hours, probably much longer then you'll have intended. There is nothing quite like Independence Day in Park City!
While up on Main Street, be sure to stop by our Sotheby's 625 Main Street office. Doors open at 10AM. We'll have a light breakfast, coffee and refreshing beverages.
A major milestone has been announced for Bonanza Flats. So many in our community have come together to help save 1,350 acres of backcountry access, wildlife, forests & trails along Guardsman Pass.
Park City plans to move forward with purchasing Bonanza Flats. The acquisition, unanimously approved by the Park City Council, would be financed in part by a $25 million bond Park City voters approved in November. Some of the balance would come from donations raised by Utah Open Lands and other conservation groups that have joined forces to help conserve Bonanza Flats.
After so much work, and uncertainty, no longer will this landscape be in plans for a destination ski and golf development. Bonanza Flats is a large area of land that sits behind Park
