Summer improvement sneak peek! ⁣
⁣
It’s been a busy summer at the park, and it’s time to start the reveal. We’ve made major upgrades throughout the park, and this is the first stop on the tour. ⁣
⁣
We’ve updated and added new wash racks throughout the park! Your walk to the wash racks just got a lot shorter. 🙌🏼⁣
⁣
For years, if your horse was stabled anywhere near Barns 1 through 4, a bath meant a hike out to Airport Blvd. Not anymore! ➡️ We have added new wash racks by barns 1,2,3 and 4.⁣
⁣
This is just the first stop on a summer’s worth of upgrades. ⁣
