Located in South Florida, Hialeah Park opened in 1921. Known for being among the most beautiful racetracks in the world and as the home to a flock of flamingos, the track is both listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is an official Audubon Society sanctuary for the American Flamingo.

The last race ran at Hialeah Park was on May 22, 2001. While the frontside of the track is still clearly intact, although in desperate need of repair, the backside barn area and famed horsepath were demolished in 2007. There is an organization called Citizens to Save Hialeah Park with a mission to restore, reopen, and preserve the historic racetrack.
