Specifications of Equestrian Facilities


Equestrians from all over the world know that the Prince George's Equestrian Center and Show Place Arena offer every comfort and convenience for show managers, exhibitors, and spectators alike. Our state-of-the-art facilities, convenient location, and hospitality guarantee equestrian events that are a pleasure to compete in and attend.

THE INDOOR ARENA

The indoor facility boasts of internationally acclaimed footing. The show ring measures 120 x 240 feet, enough for any equestrian discipline to work in comfortably.

The climate-controlled arena is perfect for every season and equipped with a public address and light systems, fully meeting industry standards. We have a dot matrix scoreboard for all types of equestrian events to include numeric judging programs. Seating for 3,000 is comfortable and unobstructed.

Exhibitors can take advantage of the easy ground level access through our vehicular ramp at the rear of the building. We have a show management office located right inside the ramp and an in-house box office and ticketing system. There is vendor space on the concourse and 5 private suites. The private suites can be used in many ways including sponsor seating or as a boutique.

Spectators have the perfect view from any seat in the house and are close enough to feel part of the competition. The Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission fully complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act in making accommodations to promote and encourage participation.
