Turf Paradise is a horse racing venue located in north Phoenix, near the intersection of Bell Road and 19th Avenue. It's a pretty straightforward track experience, featuring both live racing on a one-mile dirt oval and a shorter, seven-furlong turf course. Wagering is, of course, a core part of the experience. It's a solid place to spend an afternoon if you're looking for some local racing action. Given its location in the Valley of the Sun, you can generally expect comfortable weather for much of the racing season, especially during the fall and winter months. Turf Paradise tends to draw a local crowd, from casual fans to seasoned handicappers. If you're new to horse racing or just want a relaxed place to watch the races without the glitz and glamour of some of the bigger national tracks, this is a good option.
