AI summary of 5 Google reviews — not a first-hand visit. How we write these
Reviewers report free parking, inexpensive entry and plenty of shade, with races running back to back so there is no long wait between them. Vendors on site, and heritage days bring family events with music, drummers and food. One reviewer arrived late morning and found it calm.
A Family Fun Zone (jumpers, pony rides, face painting) runs on select race days with the San Gabriel Mountains as backdrop. Also hosts the 626 Night Market.

My first time. What a beautiful location. Staff was friendly. Horses seemed well cared for and looked after. Vets follow in vehicles and watch closely for signs of injury. Will definitely go back. Seems like a fun date idea.

This was my first time watching a drone show in Los Angeles, and it was an amazing experience. I’m originally from Busan, South Korea, where there is a regular drone show held every Saturday at Gwangalli Beach. I’ve seen many shows there, so it was really interesting to experience a different style here. The visuals were creative and well-organized, especially the animal and nature themes. The venue was spacious and the overall atmosphere was great. Definitely worth visiting!
