Hi sllly,
There are lots of public trails in the Park City area. You could get maps and info at the Visitor's Center in town.
Also, good trails along the east bench up Emmigration Canyon near the zoo on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
City Creek Canyon would be good too! Right near the State Capitol Building.
You could rent snowshoes at REI.

Hit the REI at 33rd South and get maps of the Wasatch Front--there are good trails in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon--BUT you MUST call the Avalance Center info line and find out what the danger level is. REI sells several books about ski touring in the Wasatch--many of the same trails can be used. The East Bench around Red BUtte Gardens etc is very populated with dog walkers (I am one of them 
) and the trail is tramped down--hard to snowshoe. Millcreek Canyon has a groomed road--it costs $2.25 or $2.50. Emigration Canyon has some trails but they are not necessarily as well marked as the Cottonwood Canyons--but they are closer to town. The Cottonwood Canyon roads can be closed due to avalanche danger so you want to check that out ahead of time.

Yep, I do--Upper Aves. I get up to PC for the outlets (w/2 growing kids they are the best) and skiing. One of our goals this year, is to get up there for dinner once a month (when it is not winter). Things have changed on the restaurant scene, so I will be sure to ask for your recommendations.
