Where Havasu Shows Up
If Sara Park had a soundtrack, it’d be part roaring engines, part country twang, part squeaky sneakers and laughter. This isn’t just a park; it’s the stage where Lake Havasu comes alive. From the thrill of stock car races to the absolute chaos of waterless boat contests, this is where friendships are made, teams are cheered, and the town gathers to live a little louder.
Whether you’re here for the action or to share a hot dog and a laugh under the lights, this is where Havasu connects.
Havasu 95 Speedway – Where Dust Meets Thunder

– Race Types: Factory stocks, bandoleros, open-wheel, legends
– Season: October–April

Why This Tab Isn’t Just About Events
Because this isn’t just a schedule, it’s your Saturday night. Your daughter’s first home run. Your dog’s first “best in show” ribbon. It’s old friends bumping into each other in line at the taco truck, and kids growing up on red dirt and skinned knees.
Sara Park doesn’t just host the community. It is the community.
