Grass Lots & Worn-Out Tires: Why Saratoga Deserves Better Than Dirt Parking
The Saratoga Race Course is back — and this year, it’s opening on a Friday for the first time ever. We love tradition, but let’s be honest: some of these parking setups are looking like we’re still in the 1800s. Dirt lots. Tire ruts. Stray hubcaps. And people waving you into someone’s backyard like it’s a state fair.
At Egan Paving, we’re just saying… it might be time for an upgrade.
🎩 Hooves on the Track, Tires in the Mud
We’ve got million-dollar horses racing on state-of-the-art surfaces — and cars parking on lumpy grass and gravel like it’s a rodeo.
You know the drill:
Guy with a $20 flag waves you onto someone’s lawn
You hit 3 potholes and a sprinkler head on the way in
You pray the rain holds off because you’re 20 feet from getting stuck
Your shoes? Ruined before you see a single horse
Welcome to Saratoga.
🚧 Asphalt > Ankle-Breaker Ruts
We’re not saying the charm isn’t there. Saratoga’s quirky, unpolished moments are part of the fun. But if you’re an event planner, property owner, or even a serious local who hosts parking near the track — a solid, paved lot isn’t just nice. It’s bankable.
Easier to organize
Adds value to the property
No more refunding parkers who needed a tow
Pairs well with a well-placed sign that says “Professional Parking, $20”
Asphalt’s ROI is stronger than half the horses in the third.
🗓️ Friday Opening: A New Era
This year’s Friday kickoff is a nod to Belmont’s trend-setting schedule — and Saratoga is clearly stepping up. The town’s energy is electric. New restaurants, renovations, and — hopefully someday — a few paved parking lots for the locals cashing in.
We’re here for it. Let’s pave the way. Literally.
🛞 We’re Not Just Pavers. We’re Fans.
We grew up here. We’ve sat in those backyards with a folding chair and a cooler. We’ve sprinted in dress shoes from the Nelson Ave extension. And we’ve definitely gotten a little too confident driving through “that one lot that’s totally dry.”
We’re not paving because we’re picky. We’re paving because you deserve better. And your guests (and their suspensions) do too.
👋 Let’s Talk
Got a lot that turns into a marsh every July? Own a spot a few blocks from the gate and want to make more than soggy $20 bills?
We’ve paved everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots to church overflow areas — and we’d be happy to walk your space and give honest feedback.
