Lone Star Park puts final touches on park
With less than two weeks before the season’s first race, Harry Johnson, Director of Operations, Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, said that he somewhat feels like a thoroughbred horse in the starting gates, ready for the race to begin.
Johnson admitted though that on the other hand this year like every other year he is a little apprehensive. He said that there are always facility improvement projects that get completed just prior to opening day.
This year the park has made a number of improvements, Johnson said. Rubber paving replaces the bark mulch in the saddling paddock area, new race track material, additional handicap seating, and colorful metal awnings on the east and west side, along with the customary touch-up painting and landscaping.
Lone Star Park’s thoroughbred racing season begins April 10. For race and ticket information visit Lone Star Park’s web site or call 972-263-7223.
