Fun Day Out!
by Babybun on 6/14/23Belmont Park - ElmontTransportation from Midtown Manhattan relatively easy with direct train to Belmont from GCS. Entry to Clubhouse and Grounds organized and well staffed. I wish I could say the same for the concessions. It was clear that they didn't have enough staff for this event. My husband managed to get the last remaining beer at one concession so we split it. We would have gladly had several drinks but the hassle wasn't worth it. We wanted mixed drinks but signage and lines were long and not clear so there was mostly just a mob of people at each concession. Hopefully, the reconstruction will allow for more sufficient staffing, line management, and a nicer experience. We will return in a few years when it's complete. The trains home had long lines but they did a good job of filling up the trains and keeping the line of people organized for transportation back into the City. For once, the MTA did something right! Overall, had a great time. Probably better that we couldn't get drinks.
