This is a great location for festivals and rodeo. It is managed by the Historic Florence Foundation and is primarily used for youth rodeo. It is a 501(c)3 non-profit home to the world's oldest & continuing Jr rodeo - Florence Jr Parada.
We came here for a new event for our club, Arizona Driving and Carriage Society. There is a small rodeo area with bleachers, and large parking area. It is across the street/highway from the Florence Aeromodeler Park.
This location hosts a variety of festivals. Our group set up dressage arenas, a cones course and hazards (obstacles) for our carriages. We arranged to also overnight park and use the horse pens. It is a great flat area that was perfect for our needs, an Arizona Driving Trial (ADT). We loved the central location to Tucson and Phoenix participants. It is wide open and not much traffic or noise, a quiet rural location.
When we stayed overnight in our RV, we were lucky to watch the Junior Rodeo practice calf riding. Those kids were dedicated and rough.
Great event to host. read more
