Belmont Park was last renovated in 1968. The new Belmont Park, which was designed by renowned architectural firm Populous in conjunction with NYRA, is centered around a roughly 300,000 square ft, five-story building featuring the modern amenities and hospitality offerings sports fans now expect from world-class sports and entertainment venues.
By reducing the building’s footprint from the previous 1.25 million square feet, and opening the infield for the first time, the new Belmont Park dramatically increases the amount of green space available to fans and the surrounding community.
In addition to the new grandstand, NYRA has renovated the existing main dirt track and two turf courses and added a new, all-weather synthetic surface. As a result, the new Belmont Park features the safest and most modernized racing surfaces in the sport.
The centuries-old Japanese White Pine that has elevated the paddock experience for generations of fans, and provides the inspiration for the Belmont Park logo, has been surveyed and protected to the greatest extent possible throughout the demolition and construction phases. The tree remains the centerpiece of the property.
In addition, Belmont’s extensive collection of racing artwork and murals are being preserved. NYRA has safely set aside some of Belmont’s best-known artifacts such as the wrought-iron gates of the late, great Jerome Park, as well as the wrought-iron fencing from the clubhouse entrance and the paddock featuring the colors of each of the 13 Triple Crown winners. These artifacts have been safely removed and will be stored for future use.
