Red Shores at Charlottetown pairs a gaming floor with live harness racing at the historic Driving Park, in the island capital — with no rooms on site, but downtown Charlottetown's hotels only minutes away.
Red Shores at Charlottetown pairs a gaming floor — slots, electronic gaming and table games — with live harness racing at the historic Driving Park, which gives it a character the pure slot halls lack. Race nights are the draw; the floor keeps things going the rest of the week.
There is no hotel at the track, but downtown Charlottetown is only minutes away, with a good range of hotels and inns in and around the compact, walkable capital. Book a room in the centre and you are close to both Red Shores and the harbourfront, the restaurants and the Confederation-era streets.
There is trackside dining and a lounge, and the racing itself is the headline extra — a live-sport night out rather than just a gaming floor. Charlottetown's dining and waterfront round out the trip.
Red Shores sits at the Driving Park in Charlottetown, close to the city centre. With no rooms on site, value depends on your downtown hotel — and the island capital is an easy, pleasant base, especially in the summer season.
