After years in planning Woodward has been approved to begin construction on a new facility outside of Park City in 2018. The facility will be built at Gorgoza Park, a short drive from the town of Park City. The main building will be over 52,000 square feet. Gorgoza Park currently features a tubing operation where a new chairlift will be built in addition to new mountain biking facilities, and an outdoor skate park. The lift will serve the 400' vertical hill where there have been several ski areas over the decades. the on-snow facilities will be home to a halfpipe and slopestyle course.
