1. Ghost Speedway

The old Wasaga Speedway.

Opened in 1956 and closed at the end of the 1970 season.

From the aerial view you can see the original 1/2 mile horse track, the 1/4 mile paved oval was built inside of the horse track.

I stumbled upon this location about 14 years ago, it has became a bit of a storage/dump site for the provincial parks. At one point the old life guard towers were dumped off here when Wasaga Beach decided to take lifeguard supervision off the beaches.

The photos are from 2003 but being there a year ago.. nothing has changed. Still a big pile of crushed limestone and our old parking curbs.

The Ghost Speedway is located in a provincial park, and is free to visit. If you follow co-ordinates it will lead you to a spot to pull over by an ORANGE gate and the track is roughly 100meters down the path.

2. The Venus Motel & Restaurant

This is an abandoned seasonal motel which has been boarded up and left rot and to squatters. No information is listed online regarding Venus Motel and Restaurant. I’m going to ask neighbors and coworkers who have lived in the community longer than I have to see if I can gather more history on this location . I noticed this motel when I bike along the back trails and loop back home. I’m very excited to be a member of this website and contribute.

3. Skate Park

Not entirely sure what this used to be, my guess is either a small strip mall or a visitor information center. Anyways, tourists a few years ago turned it into a skate park.

UPDATE: 28/06/11 I found out that this place was once the Wasaga Roller Rink
