Other parts of the Park are also open including the archery range and horse club venues – all following AHS guidelines.
The Grande Sunset Theatre is offering weekend outdoor movies from the TARA Centre Parking Lot A all summer long. A permanent 40-foot screen was erected in the lot and up to 700 vehicles can be accommodated.
The slot machines, VLTs and off track betting kiosks are all open at the Evergreen Park Casino.
And the Casino Restaurant as well as the Pines Family Restaurant are welcoming customers as well at JDA Raceway.
There are eight screens showing races from across North America, two betting kiosks and race track programs for those who like to play the ponies
Temperature checks are in effect and face masks will be mandatory for all Casino slot/VLT customers. Hand sanitizers are available at the entrance/exit. All Alberta Health Services safety protocols are in place in both the Casino and restaurants. Social distancing is in effect in the Casino and restaurants (masks not mandatory) so all guests can feel safe when they play the slots or sit in the restaurants and enjoy a meal.
