Utah Olympic Park
Utah Olympic Park is located at 3419 Olympic Parkway in Park City. One of the best picnic's our family had was at the Utah Olympic Park. We ate lunch on a grassy hill next to the Visitors Center & Museum and watched the aerial skiers on the practice runs. The skiers slide down a roller hill and launch into the air, twisting and rotating before landing in a swimming pool. I called to check, and they still hold practices all summer between Tuesday and Friday's around 10am-2pm. They can't guarantee you'll see a practice (call ahead 435-658-4200), but there is a good bet that you'll see something interesting. If you go on Saturday, there is a "Flying Ace All-Stars" show, but it's pricey. The museums are open and free each day. There are so many great things to do that I can't list them all. For a brief overview of all you can see and do, log onto youtube.com and search "Utah Olympic Park". After watching that video, type "Utah Olympic Park Ski Practice" into the youtube search and watch a video of a ski jump practice. Amazing! More information can be found at olyparks.com.
