Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve

On the boundary of Antelope Acres lies the beautiful Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve, a California State Natural Reserve. Each spring, the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve comes alive with the seasonal surprises of the Mojave Desert Grassland habitat.  The duration and intensity of colors and scents vary from year to year.  The wildflower season generally lasts from as early as mid-February through May, with a variety of wildflowers creating a mosaic of color that changes daily.

Jethawks Stadium

When most people think of the word “park,” they envision grassy fields, shade trees and picnic tables. In 1996, Lancaster helped residents expand their traditional definition of “park” by adding a state-of-the-art baseball stadium and ballpark. Lancaster Municipal Stadium is a gorgeous facility that plays host to 70 Lancaster JetHawks home games each season. The premier minor league baseball facility also hosts other events throughout the year. The stadium is a 15 minute drive from Antelope Acres.

The original track at the facility, Willow Springs International Raceway, celebrates its 55th birthday this year, and is steeped in historical significance. Construction of the track began in 1952, with the inaugural event held on November 23, 1953.

This world-famous track hosted the first two NASCAR events west of the Mississippi, the first F.I.M. 500 Grand Prix motorcycle race in America, the first AMA events, the first 24-hour motorcycle endurance race, the first kart road racing in America, and the first California Sports Car Club racing on a purpose-built road course.
