Caledon Equestrian Park (CEP) and Pan Am Cross-Country Centre (CCE)
Caledon is home to one of the largest equestrian communities in Southern Ontario.
The CEP hosts around 16 events a year. Since CEP’s major transformation for the upcoming
games, the Town of Caledon is expecting to host more international competitions.
The CEP improvements and upgrades include: a new grand prix competition ring, stadium
seating, practice and training areas, an
indoor competition ring, synthetic footing,
200 permanent stalls, a community centre
and a meeting space. The Will O’Wind
Farm is the host venue for Eventing Cross
Country (Pan Am Cross-Country Centre).
This venue is recognized as one of the
premier eventing sites in Ontario. The cross
country course is approximately 4.4 to 5.5
kilometres in length with 30 to 35 jump
efforts such as water features, drops and
log jumps.
