Park City Mountain Summer Activities

Park City Mountain kicks off summer activities TODAY! There are approximately one million fun things to do there (see for yourself), so grab a crew and go. On the Canyons Village side, the Canyons Golf Course opens for the season today. The 18-hole, par-70 course has you swinging through 550 feet of elevation change (with 297 feet of elevation change at Hole 10 alone) and spectacular views of the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains. Full summer operations begin June 15 in the Canyons Village.
Last Friday Gallery Stroll
Friday, May 25 → 6 – 9 PM
Explore and enjoy Park City’s vibrant art scene at the Last Friday Gallery Stroll. From 6:00–9:00 p.m. on the last Friday of each month, members of the Park City Gallery Association offer a unique showcase highlighting artists, special exhibits, and art events.
Park City SUP
Saturday, May 26 → 10 AM – 5 PM
(Open for the summer season)
Grab your stand up paddle board (Or don’t – you can rent one!) and head over to Deer Valley Drive; Park CIty SUP is opening for its eighth year of business! The summer season begins at 10 on Saturday, with a sale on new and used boards. You’re welcome to bring your old board to sell, too – the summer kickoff SUP swap happens all weekend long.
SUP lessons, demos, fitness classes, rentals, and sales are available for the taking at 1375 Deer Valley Drive. Park City SUP also offers tours and lessons at the Jordanelle Reservoir.
Swaner Climbing Wall
Saturdays & Sundays → 1 – 3 PM
“Climb through the Swaner ecosystems from the bedrock to the uplands” — all from the comfort of the Swaner Preserve and EcoSystem. They supply the harness if you show up with closed-toe shoes, and the wall is open for business for a few hours on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Members get 12 free climbs, others pay $5 for 8 climbs. Swaner has a list of activities and learning opportunities that continues to surprise and delight us – check out all there is to do there HERE!
Monday Night Casting Clinics
Monday, May 28→ 5 – 7 PM
Every Monday evening, from Memorial Day through Labor Day, Jans’ fly fishing experts offer free fly casting lessons and equipment tips. Join them at 5 p.m., at the ponds in lower Deer Valley, next to the gazebo. If you own a rod, you’re asked to bring it along – if you don’t, they have a limited number of rods folks can borrow.
SEE
Park City Film Series → Isle of Dogs
Friday & Saturday → 8 PM | Sunday → 6 PM
PG-13, 101 min.
Wes Anderson’s unique stop-motion-animated film takes you through an outbreak of canine flu in Japan – which leads to a quarantine of all the dogs on an island. One boy tries to rescue his dog, Spots, and gets help from a pack of misfit pups who have also been exiled. But wait – THERE WILL BE PUPPIES. Nuzzles & Co. will have real-life adoptable pups at every screening!
UPCOMING EVENTS
Monster Drawing Rally
Kimball Art Center
Thursday, May 31 → 6 – 9:30 PM
This is a whole new kind of party! The live-drawing event pulls spectators in to spy on the creative process while getting to know our incredible – an incredibly talented – local artists. Artists take three 50-minute shifts drawing and creating art. Sketches are transformed into completed works – collage, watercolor, acrylic, graphite, and other media are all included. Best of all, they’re available for purchase immediately!
There will be food, local music and a cash bar at The Drawing Rally (presented by the Park City Summit County Arts Council and the Kimball Art Center). Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door; kids under 10 are free.
