Utah Olympic Park preserves significant venues connected to events of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games, located just half an hour east of the city's downtown district in Park City.

The massive winter sports park was originally constructed in phases beginning in 1991. When it was completed, it served as the site for many Olympics events throughout the Games, including its ski jumping, luge, skeleton, bobsled, and Nordic combined events.

Today, it stays in operation as an Olympic training center and visitor attraction, showcasing two museums connected to its Olympics festivities and sporting event history.

Visitors can explore the free-admission Joe Quinney Winter Sports Center, which is home to the Alf Engen Ski Museum, showcasing prestigious skiing trophies and artifacts.

The George Eccles Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games Museum also showcases Olympic medals, opening and closing ceremony props, and other Olympics-related artifacts and memorabilia.
