The Hialeah Park Race Track (also known as Hialeah Park) is a historic horse racing track in Hialeah, Florida. It is one of the oldest existing recreational facilities in southern Florida. Originally opened in 1921 by the famous aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss and his partner James Bright, in 1925 the Miami Jockey Club launched Hialeah's race track on January 25, 1925.
In 2001, Hialeah Park stopped hosting racing after a change in the state law kept it from having any exclusive dates in its competition with Gulfstream Park and Calder Race Course. Consequently, owner John Brunetti closed Hialeah Park to the public. On March 2009, it was announced that current track owner John Brunetti was awarded a racing permit. The historic racetrack reopened on November 28, 2009; solely for quarter horse races.
On March 5, 1979, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. On January 12, 1988, the property was determined eligible for designation as a National Historic Landmark by the Secretary of the Interior.
