HORSESHOE FACILITIES

One of the best horseshoe facilities in the Midwest is located in picturesque Gage Park. The 18 full walkway practice courts are made of grass extended platforms and clay pits. Gage Park has been a staple of Topeka since opening in 1899 and its 160-acre space offers multiple facilities including a swimming pool, the Topeka Zoological Park, the Helen Hocker Theater, a fishing pond and more.
