Escambia County Equestrian Center
Pensacola, Florida

STOA Architects provided design services for the 178-acre Escambia County Equestrian Center. This equine park was designed as a multi-function event facility, which is host to numerous horse shows, rodeos, dog shows and other public and private events.

The site includes a 4,000 seat covered arena, three outdoor arenas, 35 RV sites with full hook-ups, stables, covered stalls and ticketing and concession areas.

The indoor arena features a 375 foot by 225 foot clear span viewing area. The outdoor arenas consists of four show rings, exercise rings, a warm-up area, a show office with communication and public announcement systems, vendor areas, an announcer/judges booth, and livestock pens and rodeo chutes.

The facility was selected as an award winner within the Parks and Recreation Class III Facility Category of the National Association of County Park and Recreation Officials in 2004.
