The Park City School District received a stop work order Thursday, Aug. 13, to halt construction on the North 40 property.
The district told KPCW in a statement that it was doing preparatory work to install shot put, javelin and discus facilities. The track and field events were previously by the Dozier Football Field. But that field was reoriented to accommodate a building with concessions, a press room and locker rooms.
With no space for the track and field events, the district said it pivoted and plans to host the sports at the Treasure Mountain Sports Complex next to McPolin Elementary.
The district said the proposed layout does not feature permanent structures — just concrete throw circles and removable netting.
Park City told KPCW its code compliance and planning teams reviewed the activity after a resident complaint. The teams determined additional review is needed to determine whether the work is allowed under the district’s conditional use permit.
The city and district are now working together to decide if updates to the permit are needed before construction continues.
The stop work order applies only to the North 40 field area. Other approved construction on the site can continue.
