Olympic Cauldron Park Visit

We visited the Olympic Park at the south end of Rice-Eccles stadium as our first and last class field trip for our EDPS 6430 class. We were looking at the design of the 'Park' to analyze the objectives in the purpose and design of the park. I think the purposes were to be a historical record of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, to remember the efforts of the athletes that competed in the games, to inspire the efforts of aspiring athletes to continue their efforts, and to inspire visitors to the park to incorporate into their life the theme for the games "Light the Fire Within". I enjoyed the whole experience. As far as what was intended in the design and if the objectives were met, I'll leave that for wiser minds to debate. I was able to remember my experiences during the Olympic Games and what a unique and inspiring experience it was to have the world come to Utah and compete. I want to take my family to visit the Olympic Cauldron Park and especially see how my wife remembers her experience as she explores pictures, discriptions, and movies.
