Epic Regional Sports Park: park manager says facilities open, parking to use license-plate readers and QR codes
Summary
Park staff told District 3 that parking lots and playgrounds remain open during city park hours, walking-path work is complete, family restrooms are available in winter and parking for tournaments will be managed with license-plate readers and QR-code payment options.
The Epic Regional Sports Park manager updated District 3 on park operations, saying the parking lots and playgrounds remain open during city park hours and family restrooms on the north end continue to be available in winter. "The walking path concrete work is done and the final touches are set for spring use," the manager said during the March update.
Staff noted the park’s address has changed to 1200 Epic Lane to route traffic through Lakeview Parkway and new signs are being installed on-site and along I‑15. Officials urged residents to check provo.gov/epic for event calendars, frequently asked questions and contact information for the park manager.
On questions about playground access, the parks assistant director, Foster, said playground gates should not be locked but asked residents to notify staff if they find gates latched. He confirmed fields are being rested through winter and will open for local play and scheduled tournaments in spring. "We have three slated for the spring," Foster said, and registrations are open for local teams.
Residents asked whether pickleball courts would be available for casual play or reserved for tournaments. Foster said the city anticipates enough courts for both scheduled tournaments and open play, and that availability will depend on demand and scheduling. On lighting, staff said there are currently no plans to add lights to the pickleball courts.
On parking, staff described a new approach using license-plate readers and QR-code payment to manage tournament parking and enforcement. That system, staff said, should reduce earlier gate-based bottlenecks and help distinguish paid tournament parking from neighborhood parking. Park staff encouraged residents to contact the park manager directly with problems and said they will provide enforcement support if tournament overflow occurs.
The update was followed by a short question-and-answer period and a reminder to residents that the city webpage will maintain the most current event and project information.
