Accessibility
The Ogden Amphitheater welcomes all differently abled attendees and is dedicated to continually improving efforts to ensure attendees have access to all goods and services, regardless of ability. All ADA requests for accommodation should be made 72hrs in advance. Requests can be made by emailing amphitheater@ogdencity.com.
Please note: requests for accommodation are submitted to Ogden City staff, but most events at the Ogden Amphitheater and other venues are not produced in-house. Our team will work with community organizers to meet the needs of any guest requesting accommodation.

Eligibility
ADA resources are finite and are in place to help those who legitimately require assistance. It is not acceptable to fake or exaggerate a disability to gain access to accommodations.
Parking
ADA Stalls are located in front of the James V. Hansen Federal Building or parking for the Ogden Municipal Building (parking lot located off 26th street). Please note that many ADA stalls require some travel to the main gates of the Ogden Amphitheater. Please plan routes ahead of time or plan for drop off.
Wheelchairs & Mobility Devices
All patrons are encouraged to utilize personal forms of transportation, including wheelchairs and medical scooters. All bags and baskets are subject to search by gate security where applicable (ticketed events, or events that serve alcohol).
PATHWAYS
The Ogden Amphitheater is fully navigable for people with mobility disabilities, however there is both grass and cobblestone surfaces that might hinder speed and comfortability. Different event maps may change accessibility.
