Park Overview
The Saddle Club is a strong advocate for horse ridership and is maintained by a private club. The arena acreage is owned by the city government and is located on the northeast side of the city, approximately 2 miles from the major intersection of TN Route 52 and US 31E/231N. The arena has a caretaker with weekend shows throughout the riding season. And horse lovers come from neighboring communities and across the Kentucky state line.
Improvement Opportunities
•
Adequate areas are provided for horse trailers along with a practice area for horses. Paving some of these areas could be a consideration.
•
The entrance roads and parking areas are not paved. This too could be considered a future improvement.
•
There are accessibility issues throughout the facility, including the lack of accessible restrooms and walking paths. These concerns should be addressed in the near future.
•
A concessions facility on the property could be an additional revenue source.
