The Oval Today
Following the 2002 Olympics, SLOC turned ownership of the oval over to the Utah Athletic Foundation, who also owns and manages the Utah Olympic Park near Park City, Utah. As part of the multi-purpose recreation complex, known as Oquirrh Park Fitness Center, the oval currently houses the original 400-meter oval skating track, two international size ice sheets, an indoor soccer/arena football/lacrosse field, a 442-meter running track, an eight-lane 110-meter sprint track, weight room, locker facilities and team rooms, meeting rooms, a concession, gifts and gear shop, plus skate rentals. Skating lessons are also offered by the foundation. The U.S. Olympic Speedskating Team is currently headquartered in the oval, and has been since January 2001.
