Horse Racing @ Legacy Park

Master Plan to Improve Equine and Rodeo Facilities at Legacy Park

PRESS RELEASE: Washington County to Develop Master Plan to Improve Equine and Rodeo Facilities at Legacy Park

Today, Washington County formally announces its plans to develop a master plan to improve and expand its equine and rodeo facilities at Legacy Park. Rodeo, Equine, and Livestock activities are deeply rooted in the heritage of Utah’s Dixie and as this community has grown so has the demand and use of Legacy Park and its equine facilities. This increased demand and use of Legacy Park necessitates that Washington County respond in kind.

During the preliminary steps of developing a master plan, Washington County identified safety and infrastructure needs, including electrical, drainage, water, sewage, and gas, with the most immediate needs being electrical and drainage. Many of these infrastructure needs will need to be re-engineered and rebuilt from the ground up. To safely facilitate some of these infrastructure needs the horse stalls will need to be vacated by June 30, 2025.

Washington County is engaging in this master plan in order to meet the growing needs of Legacy Park. The master plan will not include plans for soccer fields, housing, or any form of commercial not consistent with Legacy Park’s public purpose. Washington County recognizes Legacy Park serves this community and with that in mind, Washington County intends to engage the community throughout the master plan process.

Legacy Park and its facilities have served this community for decades and in order to continue to serve this community for decades more certain improvements and renovations identified during the master plan process must be facilitated.
