Narragansett Park was an American horse and motor racing venue in Cranston, Rhode Island.

[3] The entry to the park featured a 30-foot high archway with two large towers on each side that served as ticket booths.

[2] The park's main building was four-stories high and contained a covered entryway where ladies could be picked up or dropped off by carriage.

The association hired Seth Griffith from Fleetwood Park Racetrack to rebuild the track and spent $5,000 on building repairs and plumbing.

[6] However, due to poor attendance, the association lost money and was unable to pay interest on the mortgage it took out to fund the repairs.

[7][8] The Rhode Island Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry began hosting fairs at Narragansett Park in 1867.

[11] Perkins was the first to present vaudeville as an attraction at an agricultural fair and in 1896 organized the first oval track automobile race in the United States.

[10][12] The final fair took place in 1898 and Perkins sold the property to a corporation that staged harness races at the park.

[12][11] Due to the harness racing's decline in popularity, the corporation was unable to make its mortgage payments and ownership reverted to Perkins.

[11][10] 12,000 people attended the race but there was a lack of seats due to the grandstand and all of the five bleachers having been deemed unsafe for use.

The following year Narragansett Park was sold to a developer, who demolished remaining buildings to make way for a residential neighborhood.
