I’m looking for ideas for what to do with this outdoor arena. We don’t have horses and don’t plan on ever having them. It’s about 6” of sand on rocky substrate, and it’s a waste of our land. We have a garden and an orchard, and also some fenced in paddocks. So what should I do with this? No bodies of water, we’re on a well with no summer rainfall!

No horses but what about cattle? If you have cattle I’d use it for loading or isolating. Is it fence or livestock panels? If it’s panels I’d take it down and use it elsewhere. Then do whatever you what with the land. Fence, I’d just leave it but I end up with random animals. Or just take it down if you really don’t want it. You don’t have to repurpose it if there is no need

If you don’t want it, I do
Ok, some amusing comments, but my advice is to leave it as is. Let the idea come to you…
