Hialeah Park Racing & Casino Miami
The Hialeah Park Racetrack is one of the oldest existing recreational facilities in southern Florida. Originally built to attract the rich and famous, Hialeah Park has contributed to the popularization of South Florida as a winter resort. The park includes a Renaissance Revival clubhouse, associated buildings, and landscaped gardens of native flora and fauna. Hialeah Park has become so famous for its flocks of flamingos that it has been officially designated a sanctuary for the American Flamingo by the Audubon Society.
Hialeah Park Race Track was originally opened in the year 1922 as a part of the development of the town by an Aviation Pioneer and his partner. The Miami Jockey Club launched the thoroughbred horse racing track on January 25, 1925. We invite you to come experience Hialeah Park Racing & Casino! Easily accessible by all major highways, we are conveniently located five minutes from Miami International Airport, and 10 minutes from South Beach, Downtown Miami, Coral Gables, and Doral.
The development of the racetrack is closely linked to the development of the City of Hialeah. Developed as a speculative enterprise in 1921 by James H. Bright, a cattleman from Missouri, and Glenn H. Curtiss, an aviation pioneer, it included many amenities ignored by other South Florida town developers. Bright and Curtiss donated land for community use and helped to acquire land and building funds for the construction of public buildings and facilities, including a racetrack. The first greyhound parimutuel track in America was opened here in February of 1922 by the Miami Kennel Club. The track was developed by Owen P. Smith, the inventor of the 'Inanimate Hare Conveyor,' the mechanical rabbit device that allowed dog racing on a circular track.

Club House restoration image and minor grammatical issues[edit]

Should we change the name to Hialeah Park Racing & Casino? that's what they're calling it on the website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emigdioofmiami (talk • contribs) 05:12, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
