The track is 1/2 mile (350 feet homestretch) with granular base and stonedust track cushion with total seating for 1500 (covered area and open grandstand).[1]

The gaming area has 240 slot machines and is facing financial challenges due to changes to funding to the track from slot machine revenue by the OLG.[2]
