Meet Grandy!
He is the mascot at Grand River Raceway! He loves to visit the track on larger race days, like Industry Day.
When he’s not on the track, you can enjoy time in our newly invigorated NEIGHbourhood Kid’s Area now located in the Tarmac Tent near the East Gate! This new Kid’s Area will be open Friday nights in June and September, and open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in July and August. Entry to the track every night is FREE for all…so bring the whole family to enjoy a fun night out!
Check out what you can find in the NEIGHbourhood:
- VR experience – Take a virtual ride on a driver’s cart around a race track! (Only available when Kid’s Area is staffed)
- Crafts to get creative with
- Colouring books and pages
- Educational interactive stations to learn more about horses and standardbred horseracing
Download one of our fun worksheets and horse around at home. We look forward to having you back at the track very soon!
