Park City is well known for its "Greatest Snow on Earth" and world-class ski resorts. Park City has also recently become world famous as the only "Gold Rated" mountain biking town, honoring our amazing mountain trails that encompass our ski resorts and link together all throughout town. But skiing and mountain biking are all mostly for the adults or older kids. For the younger kids, toddlers and kids up to age 10, Park City has expanded its offerings of kids playgrounds at its parks. Below is a guide to the five best playgrounds in Park City - located at Creekside Park, Willow Creek Park, City Park, Prospector Park and Trailside Park.
Parkites love their 4th of July holiday. It a full day of fun events and a great way to get out and meet many other visitors and connect with locals. Most events are in-town. You can start with the popular pancake breakfast (unless you’re doing the 5k run!) and then head up to Park City's Historic Main Street for our annual 4th of July Parade and a full day of activities in City Park, including live music, rugby games, beer gardens and vendors followed by fireworks at dusk. There really is no better place to spend your July 4th holiday than right here in Park City, Utah.

On Sunday, May 4th, the historic and highly recognized Rio Grande building was moved to its new, temporary location a few blocks down Park Avenue. The historic building is part of the upcoming 820 Park Avenue real estate development that will consist of 10 luxury residences and 4 commercial spaces.
The building was lifted, and secured to a large flat bed prior to Sunday's move. The building was then pulled down Park Avenue to its temporary location, a vacant lot at the 14th block on Park Avenue. Sunday was chosen because of the ability to easily close down the street for the move, which only took about a half hour. With the building now off-site, the developers will be able to begin excavation and removing soil to start the process of building the
According to a Summit County enforcement hearing on Thursday at the Sheldon Richins Building with TCFC Finance Co., LLC, completion of the golf course is expected by September 30. This has been a very long awaited event, with much doubt of its actual completion for the past decade. Summit County Deputy Attorney Jami Brackin reviewed the benchmarks TCFC has had to meet since May 2013, looking forward to those goals which are to be completed by September of this year.
Many of the required construction benchmarks up to the present have been completed, with the exception of progress on a new ski maintenance building. A recent dis-approval of the buildings new location may stall that portion of the development and construction, yet the goal is to still

For many of us in Park City, we have dreamed of the opportunity to ski and snowboard from Deer Valley to Park City to the Canyons. It would be amazing to have one ski pass to access all three of our resorts. Even if not connected, just the ability to have one shared pass and the choice of going to each of the resorts on any given day would be wonderful. We all have friends who each year make a choice of which single resort they will buy their season pass too. Often, we miss skiing with good friends because we have our pass at one resort, while they are at another. With the price of lift tickets, its rare to go buy a ticket at a ski resort for a day, when you already have a season pass at another.
Deer Valley Resort will play host to the 2014 U.S. Championships, the final freestyle event of the 2013-2014 season. Championship events will include mogul, aerial and dual mogul competitions. Two time Olympic medalist, Hannah Kearney will lead the moguls team along with 2010 medalist Bryon Wilson and brother, 2014 Olympian Brad Wilson. Two time Olympian Ashley Caldwell will lead the aerials team along with Olympian Mac Bohonnon who finished fifth in Sochi.

The most prominent ski resort rankings for 2014 are out. This week SKI Magazine released the results of it's annual reader survey that ranks North America's ski resorts in a variety of categories, from snow and grooming to off-hill activities. All three of Park City's ski resorts placed in the top 10. Deer Valley is No. 2, Park City Mountain Resort is No. 5 and Canyons is No. 10. Last year was the first in which Deer Valley, PCMR and Canyons all finished in the top 10 overall in the West and that feat is turning into a trend.

Sundance will no longer conflict with MLK holiday through 2026
Park City leaders and the organizers of the Sundance Film Festival finalized an agreement to keep the top domestic marketplace of independent films in Park City Utah through at least 2026, crafting a deal that won support from the tourism industry in addition to City Hall and the festival. The agreement starts with the 2014 festival, scheduled this upcoming January, and includes an out option for the final three years, which could allow the festival to relocate after 2023. Sundance will keep its Utah offices at the Silver Star ski-in, ski-out development through at least 2023. Both sides worked for months on the deal, almost exclusively in private meetings.
