Fonner Park Track Details
Address: 700 E Stolley Park Rd, Grand Island, NE 68801

Meeting: Fonner Park’s live thoroughbred meet begins in mid-February and runs through early May. The richest horse race on its program is the $75,000 Gus Fonner for 3-year-olds and up, which dwarfs all other races at the track in terms of purse money.
History: Located in the heart of Nebraska, Fonner Park held its first day of racing in April of 1954. For many years it was overshadowed by Ak-Sar-Ben (Nebraska spelled backwards), but after that track was forced to close in 1995, Fonner became the focal point of Nebraskan racing. It is a classic bullring dirt track that measures just five furlongs in circumference.
Facilities: General admission and box seats are free at Fonner Park, which also offers Clubhouse, Skyline, and Turf Club seating at an additional charge. Many other shows and events scheduled throughout the year include horse shows, the Fonner Park State 4-H Horse Exposition, the Nebraska State Fair, Hall County Fair as well as Antique, Home and Ag Expos.
