Horn Rapids ORV Sports Park is the best-kept secret jewel for the ATV driver in southeast Washington State. This is a 300-acre park, but there is a lot packed together into the space. There are: open trails, 4X4 tracks, an MX track, ATV track, a sand strip, and peewee trail. There is an RV camp area, restroom areas - one with showers, picnic shelters, an airfield for remote controlled planes, and leased areas for go-karts, and also sprint boat racing.
This is a wonderful place for local ATVers to spend time during the week, after work or during the day. The park is open to the public at no cost Monday through Wednesday, and Saturdays and Sundays when no ORV events are scheduled. Horn Rapids Park is closed on city holidays, Thursdays and Fridays all year. This attests to the level of care shown for the track conditions since Thursdays and Fridays are track maintenance days.
This year there are several events scheduled of ATVer interest. May 21, 2006 is ATV only Grand Prix, and May 22 is ATV only Motocross. June 24-25, 2006 is ATV only National MX. This is a very well taken care of area for the whole family any time of the year, and ATVers in southeast Washington have one great place to ride.
Though use of the Park is free during the week, most events are ticketed. Ticket information and Park rules and regulations may be found with city of Richland parks department. They love to hear from ATVers.
