Driving Park (Rochester, New York)

Driving Park was a harness racing track in Rochester, New York which operated between 1874 and 1902.

From 1875 to 1895 the track hosted a leg of the Grand Circuit.

[3] For a time it was "the most famous racetrack in the world," but began to decline in the 1890s with the introduction of anti-gambling laws.

In 1899 two of the three grandstands were destroyed in a fire, and the park was finally sold at auction in 1902.

[2] Today the former location of the park is a residential area.
