Recreation Center for the Utah State Hospital, Historic amphitheater at Utah State Hospital in Provo, United States.

The Recreation Center for the Utah State Hospital is a stone amphitheater in Provo with two corner towers situated on a three-acre property. It holds roughly 800 people and features a grass play area, interior rooms with fireplaces, and stone ramps that make it easy to navigate.

The amphitheater was built between 1936 and 1937 during the Great Depression as part of a public works initiative. The project created jobs at a time when unemployment was very high in Utah.

The site's castle-like look comes from its stone towers and the crenellated railings, and the southeast tower holds a large room with a fireplace, with a second fireplace on its flat roof above an open-air gathering area. For nearly three decades, from 1971 to 1997, the grounds hosted the annual Haunted Castle each Halloween season.

The property is easy to walk around thanks to stone ramps and offers both open and covered areas for different weather. It is best explored during the day to fully appreciate the architectural details and the surrounding space.

From 1971 to 1997, the amphitheater became a seasonal attraction each fall when it hosted a frightening event. This temporary use gave the historic site an entirely different purpose for visitors during those decades.
