It’s difficult to distill what Woodward provides in just a paragraph or two. You have to visit the site to really understand that there are no limits on adventure here. The indoor and outdoor facilities on the campus encompass the ideal playground for adrenaline junkies young or old. Note that adults are totally welcome too! 

Woodward Park City seamlessly creates a path to progression with their diverse menu of activities and disciplines. Guests can first explore the indoor Action Sports Hub to hone basic fundamentals such as balance, air awareness, strength and agility. The architecture of the complex harbors distinct action sport habitats where skills can be practiced and perfected independently, in small groups, clinics or workshops. Mini ramps, spring floors, Olympic trampolines and foam pits all encourage responsible progression where athletes can push their boundaries safely.

Bust outdoors to explore the Mountain Park which features unique terrain that has been thoughtfully sculpted to help athletes smoothly translate the skills they’ve learned indoors to a snowy setting. For example, the Start Park is where first-timers begin their Woodward adventure. The terrain has been manipulated to feature slight contours and banked turns to teach proper technique and control. The carefully designed terrain is like nothing else in Utah and provides a seamless introduction to the sport, making learning both comfortable and fun for all ages. When a student or guest is ready, they can step it up a notch. Just gaze up the hill at the looming halfpipe and you’ll begin to understand what is possible at Woodward. 

Summer at Woodward 

The fun doesn't quit at Woodward when the snow disappears. The snow on Woodward's slopes melts every spring to reveal a compact yet fun network of progressive trails for mountain bikers and BMX riders. Woodward's trails were built by the prestigious Alpine Bike Parks group and they link directly into Park City's 400-mile trail network. Start with the pump track and build up to the bigger dirt jumps, tabletops and features on the black and blue flow trails. In the summer the bike trails are served by the Hot Laps chairlift.
