About The Venue

Tri-Cities Horsemen's Association is a local equestrian organization that manages and maintains the arena at Radke-Martinez Regional Shoreline.  The arena is located next to the Bay and offers a cool breeze on the hottest days!  Easy access and lots of room for rigs!

Fees to be paid on site:

  • Pens will be brought in to accommodate campers. $30/night - We are charging what it costs us for the pens. 
  • Camping - $15/night - fees are based on what the Park District is charging us for a Special Use Permit to allow camping.
  • Arena Use Fee - $10 per day per horse (not included in camping/pen fees).

The railroad tracks run alongside the perimeter of the arena grounds so trains do pass by.

Dogs must be leashed and under control at all times.  Dogs are not allowed in the arena.

All pens must be cleaned and manure must be picked up and deposited in manure bin before leaving, thank you!
