The Elk Point Riding Arena, operated by the Elk Point and District Agricultural Society, is an indoor arena with spectator stands, a kitchen, washrooms, a washbay, and a second-story viewing lounge. It hosts barrel racing, team roping, beef and horse 4-H programs, clinics with visiting professionals, and social events, along with the family rodeo that has become a regular part of Elk Point’s Canada Day celebrations.
MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at the arena, so riders, 4-H families, and spectators can stay online during a clinic or a competition without relying on cell signal. It is one of five MCSnet hotspots in Elk Point, alongside the A.G. Ross Arena, the Elk Point and District Curling Society, the Elk Point Regional Allied Arts Society, and the Elk Point Pioneer Seniors Centre, all sharing the same network name and password.
