Ascot Park (Ohio race track)

Ascot Park was an American horse racing track located near Cuyahoga Falls, Summit County, Ohio.

Three-quarter-mile tracks are proving exceptionally popular in Canada, having the advantage from a spectator's standpoint that in races of almost any official distances, the start is made near the grandstand, the Akron Beacon Journal reported in 1933.

They also created the two-mile Ascot Gold Cup race, that became the oldest continuously run stake in Ohio history.

Cleveland businessman Horace Adams bought the track for $1.3 million in 1954 and spent another $900,000 for upgrades, resulting in a record 12,525 fans for opening day in 1955.

When Adams died in 1966, the track changed hands several times, and was used for fairs, auctions, circuses, motorcycle races and pageants.
