Are you looking for something fun to do with your friends or family? How about racing go-karts around a 43-acre park at 55 miles per hour? Check out Pat’s Acres in Canby:
Welcome to Pat's Acres Racing Complex! You'll find all kinds of cool racing events here, but if you want to get in on the action, stop by with your friends for a few races.
This 43-acre complex got its start way back in the 1930s as a venue for outdoor concerts. In the 1950s it started hosting motorcycle racing, and today it hosts some of the largest go-kart races in the country.
Most go-kart tracks across the country are just blacktop on a vacant piece of land. Pat's Acres is surrounded by Oregon beauty, with plenty of trees and grass. You can see it whiz by in a blur while you're driving!
Die-hard go-kart drivers bring their own karts to practice and to participate in races. If you'd like to get serious about racing, take a lesson with a driving instructor.
The easiest way to have fun at Pat's Acres is with the Arrive and Drive program. Show up with your friends and race the track to see who can clock the fastest time. The driver with the fastest time of the month gets three free track sessions.
Pat's Acres is typically open Tuesday through Friday from noon til dark, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to dark, but dates and times may change for special events.
Pricing for rental kart races starts at $25 for a 12-minute session. If you're planning to visit often, save money with a $250 punch card. You'll get 12 sessions for the price of 10.
