Arlington Park, located in Chicago's northwest suburb Arlington Heights, offers the ultimate setting to experience thoroughbred racing. It is a clean, comfortable facility featuring lush landscaping and a six-story grandstand. The park was first opened in 1927. In 1985, the facility was devastated by fire and did not reopen until 1989. Since then, the park has been dedicated to the concept of family entertainment. Arlington's underlying commitment is to create an internationally acclaimed venue that reinvents horse racing as respectable and appealing entertainment.
Arlington Park entertainment is a great show with good food in a distinctive setting. More important for the newcomer is the fact that such a setting provides a manageable, familiar and comfortable environment in which to learn about racing. Along with the full effect of racing's traditional pageantry Arlington hosts a live bugler in traditional dress, the parade of jockeys and the post parade. Arlington provides an abundance of non-racing entertainment throughout its race day. A day at Arlington is a day of fun and excitement. It is the total racing experience at the highest level.
The racing season at Arlington Park typically runs mid-May through September/October. The park offers a variety of dining choices and has a nice gift shop. Check Arlington Park's website for dates and schedule of events.
