Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Arapahoe Park is a horse-racing track that is known to host Arabian horse, Paint Horse, Quarter Horse, and Thoroughbred horse racing. The racing season usually goes between mid-May into mid-August. The track is home to famed races such as the Mile High Derby and the Mile High Futurity. It’s a fun place to spend the day even if you don’t gamble on horse races as the atmosphere is so exciting and lively.

As you watch the horses, you can sit, talk with friends, have a drink, and enjoy a delicious meal. Amenities include plenty of free parking, bars and concessions stands on the Grandstand level and third and fourth floor.
