Monmouth Racetrack

Offers sectioned off areas, many that are right next to the track. I attended a party of 105 people. The track provides the grills, tables, chairs, garbage cans, and you bring the food and drinks. It was great, especially since each section has a chain link fence which contain the smaller kids. While having the party you can also bet on the races. This is great for family or association outings.
