Everyone immediately recognizes the famous Olympic rings. Whistler earned them in 2010 when the alpine skiing competitions were held here as part of the Winter Olympics. The pretty town was already before and is still a first-class sports resort for winter sports, mountain biking and hiking.

During the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, Whistler Olympic Plaza hosted the medal ceremonies. Eight aluminum plaques commemorate all athletes who participated in the 2010 Winter Olympics. A special memorial commemorates Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, who died during training on Opening Day of the Games.
The park is located in the center of town and is now used for numerous public events and outdoor activities. (Visit May 26, 2025)
