Suffolk Meadows

Suffolk Meadows was a quarter horse racing facility on Long Island that operated during 1977 and 1986.

The racetrack was situated on a 65-acre (0.26 km2) parcel located in Yaphank northwest of the William Floyd Parkway interchange on the Long Island Expressway.

[4] On September 7, 1979, 18,000 attendees gathered at Parr Meadows for a ten-hour concert featuring a number of the original performers from the Woodstock Festival.

Musical artists attending the tenth year reunion concert included Blondie Chaplin, Canned Heat, Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian, Leslie West, Jorma Kaukonen, Johnny Winter, Paul Butterfield, Rick Danko and Stephen Stills.

[3][9] The site was ultimately redeveloped with apartments, townhouses and condominiums, an assisted living facility, a Home2 Suites by Hilton extended-stay hotel, and retail stores anchored by a Walmart supercenter.
