You are invited to Come Experience Walton!
While many may know a lot of what we do here at Walton, there is so much more being offered at our Open House. We put together a list of stories you may find interesting to share with your readers. Read on.....
Edge of Walton also hosts a challenge course that is directed at young people in our schools, giving them outdoor experiences, and confidence-building opportunities. Walton has over one thousand kids per year take in the Edge of Walton Challenge Course.
Edge Of Walton Challenge Course is a Non Profit organization giving back 10% annually to local groups and organizations. It is not only part of our commitment to our community, it is a part of our legacy.
While most associate the Walton Raceway with motocross, Walton is a leader in environmental and community-driven initiatives:
Over 80,000 trees have been planted on the 200 acres on the raceway property
A giant 100 KW solar building sits at the entrance
Acres of wetland habitat has been restored for native species with walking trails to access the areas for education
In 2017, Walton rescued more than 100 snapping turtle eggs, and along with Maitland Valley Conservation Authority, released them into the surround area ponds.
Working with local businesses is another important focus of Walton Raceway. The Open House will host five local businesses on site to network and chat about what we are working on in 2018.
