This city is bordered by Park Mountain and Deer Valley Resorts. Its ski slopes are world-renowned, and you can visit the Olympic training center for the 2002 Winter Olympics. The 19th-century silver mining boom is still visible on Main Street. If you&#8217;re not a skier, you can visit the old buildings that make up the town center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there are approximately 8,300 residents living in Park City. The majority of them are non-Hispanic White, but there is a small, minority population. The city&#8217;s demographics are characterized by a high percentage of Hispanics, and only a small percentage of residents are black or Native American. The rest are Hispanic, and there are no ethnic groups represented in the city&#8217;s government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of Park City is an interesting one. The town was a silver mining town that almost sank into history as a ghost town, but it managed to reinvent itself and became a world-class ski destination. The history museum, located on Main Street, explores the city&#8217;s unique history. The museum features a vintage Skier Subway car and an original territorial jail. All of this helps you understand how this city became a global ski destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The locals of Park City are friendly and hospitable. While the skiing is the primary attraction, Park City offers a variety of other fun activities. There are dog sledding, snowmobiling, Nordic skiing, and Nordic skiing for those who like to stay active in the snow. The town&#8217;s population is mostly made up of transplants from other states, but the locals are very friendly. Unlike in many cities, most people living in Park are locals, so the community is not overrun by tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s rich history can be traced back to the city&#8217;s past. In 1898, a fire swept through the town, but buildings were rebuilt. Hundreds of volunteers donated 6000 hours to the Games, and today, the city&#8217;s historic district is filled with restaurants, boutiques, and souvenir shops. The Historic District is home to galleries and weekly farmers&#8217; markets. The town&#8217;s summer street festival is a highlight of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many things to do, a visit to Park City Utah can be an amazing experience. It&#8217;s worth bringing your family and friends along for a vacation full of activities. Aside from skiing, the area is also known for its film culture. There are a number of festivals in the city, as well as a history of cinematography in the state. While the Sundance Film Festival is a major highlight, there&#8217;s so much more to see and do in Park City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located on the east side of Salt Lake City, Park City is a ski destination in the western state of Utah.
