The strongest-backed announced park in the mountain west, with an Olympic mandate that gives its 2028 target actual consequences.
Draper City approved an 8.8-acre surf park in June 2026 as the anchor of The Wasatch Group's Veranda West development at the point of the mountain, between Salt Lake and Utah counties. USA Surfing has selected it as the official training center for the national teams ahead of the Los Angeles 2028 Games. Construction is expected to start in fall 2026 with an opening targeted for 2028.
USA Surfing's materials point to Endless Surf, the pneumatic system behind O2 SurfTown MUC and The Point, running zoned peaks from beginner rollers to head-high performance waves. An Olympic training mandate suggests the expert settings will be taken seriously.
Utah's fast-growing landlocked surf population, national team athletes, and the ski-state crowd that already treats board sports as a lifestyle. With Zion Shores building in the state's south, Utah could go from zero waves to two parks by 2028.
No pricing announced; the project is pre-construction. No tax incentives are involved, and the developer describes it as fully private money.
Nothing to book. The site sits off Bangerter Highway west of I-15; watch our news coverage for construction milestones.
