Park City High School athletics complex nears completion with new fields, track
Crews were pouring concrete for Park City High School’s new track as the district pushed toward an August finish for parts of a $15.7 million athletics build-out.
Crews were pouring concrete for the new track at Dozier Field as Park City High School gave reporters a close look at the construction now reshaping its Kearns Boulevard campus. Principal Caleb Fine, Superintendent Lyndsay Huntsman and project manager JD Simmons walked through the work, which is turning the school’s long-running field shortage into a far larger athletics complex.
At Dozier Field, the upgrade is extensive. The project includes a new track surface, rebuilt home-side bleachers, locker rooms, a speaker system, press boxes, concession stands, bathrooms and equipment storage. The football team should be able to host its first home game against Morgan on Aug. 28, although the press box may not be finished by then and is expected to wrap in September.
The broader build-out stretches across the former Treasure Mountain Junior High School site, where the district is creating two mixed-use soccer and lacrosse fields, a softball field, a baseball field and eight tennis courts. The site will become the Treasure Mountain Sports Complex, and the tennis courts are the first the high school has had of its own. The softball field is already complete, artificial turf on the soccer and baseball fields was scheduled for installation in the first week of August, and the concession and restroom buildings are expected to finish in September.
Park City athletes have spent years scattering to other fields around town when school facilities were unavailable. Spring sports including boys and girls lacrosse and boys soccer were using Quinn’s Junction while construction continued, a reminder of how crowded field access has been across the district. The new fields and track are meant to ease that pressure while giving the school more control over practices, games and event scheduling.
The project has also been slowed by cleanup tied to Park City’s mining-era soil contamination, including lead and arsenic. Some contaminated soil can be capped on site with clean fill, while more heavily contaminated material must be removed. A contractor illegally dumped water in October 2025, adding to the delays that pushed the project’s broader finish into a range of early August to October.
On Nov. 24, 2025, the Park City School District Board of Education approved Phase 4 of the Master Athletics Plan at a guaranteed maximum price of about $15.7 million, with no increase in taxes required.
