Nathan Benderson Park features a 400-acre lake built to FISA specifications.

Another point of interest is the Health and Wellness Village\, where participants and spectators can receive products and services to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. Families are invited to bring their children to come to spend time at the races and enjoy the outdoors.
