SHAKOPEE, MN – Canterbury Park today announced new guidelines for additional owners and fans to be able to attend the races.

Owners will be permitted to reserve space in advance on track level for up to a party of four (licensee, plus three guests). Preference will be first given to individuals with a horse in the day’s races.

Parking is restricted to the general parking lot. There is no valet parking at this time.

Owners use the main card casino entrance, where their party will receive a health screen and wristband.
