Polo in Mount Vernon.
La Conner Polo Club is the Skagit Valley's polo club — about 15 minutes west of Mount Vernon, out past the tulip fields on Laconner-Whitney Rd. It's the closest polo field to Mount Vernon, Burlington, Conway and Anacortes, and it plays a full USPA season every summer.
A Skagit Valley summer tradition
The club plays on grass in the flats between Mount Vernon and La Conner. Weekday evening chukkers start at 5:30 PM, weekend white-pants chukkers run at midday, and USPA tournament weekends bring in teams from around the Northwest.
For Skagit County locals it's the shortest possible drive to real polo — closer than Vancouver, Spokane or Portland, all of which the club travels to during the season.
Ride, board, or learn locally
Beyond chukkers and tournaments, the facility offers lessons on club horses, seasonal and tournament boarding, and horse rentals through George Dill's rental operation — useful if you keep horses in the valley or want to try the sport without buying a string.
Bring the family on a game day
Admission is $10 per person at the gate — no reservation needed. Pack a cooler and chairs, bring the kids and the dog, and watch from the sideline. Game days pair well with an afternoon in downtown La Conner or on Chuckanut Drive.
Fifteen minutes from Mount Vernon, all summer long.
