More About Canterbury Park
Canterbury Park opened in 1985 as Minnesota's first horse-racing track of the modern era. Canterbury hosts a 62-race season which runs from early May to Labor Day. Races are usually run Thursdays through Saturdays, plus a few holidays. The facility includes a 1-mile oval dirt track and a 7-furlong turf course. The track has indoor and outdoor seating, simulcast betting year-round and a number of food stands and bars. A few years ago, the track added a 24-hour card club, with various types of poker and blackjack, including weekly poker tourneys.
