Provo's 2002 Olympic hockey arena
Peaks Ice Arena was built as the ice hockey and figure skating venue for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Ground was broken on September 17, 1997, next to Seven Peaks Waterpark; the 110,000-square-foot building cost $12.4 million and held two ice sheets, one with about 2,000 seats and the other with 300. During the 2002 Games, men's and women's hockey games and practices drew 131,067 spectators.
Provo City took control of the arena from Seven Peaks owner Max Rabner on November 20, 2008, and its Parks and Recreation Department runs it today. As of 2026 the two sheets are home to the Utah Valley University men's hockey team, the Peaks Figure Skating Club, Wasatch Wild Youth Hockey Association and the Timpanogos Speedskating Club, and the arena runs Brigham Young University's skating and hockey classes and a Learn to Skate USA program. The Provo Predators played here until they relocated to Wyoming in 2024.
Since 2002 an indoor turf soccer field and the Fieldhouse Fitness gym have been added. In December 2023 the city announced a decade of upgrades for the 2034 Winter Olympics, when men's and women's hockey will again open here: stands now only on the north side of the Olympic rink will wrap around the whole sheet, with the weight area and soccer field taken down to make room.
