Tropical Park Race Track
A bootlegger opened this horse track at Bird Road and the Palmetto on 26 December 1931; in 1966 it tried the first synthetic racing surface. It closed in January 1972 when its dates moved to Calder. On the site now: Tropical Park, a Miami-Dade County park since 1979; the old stables are part of its equestrian centre.
