Save Hialeah Park
Hialeah Park Racetrack was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 2, 1979. On January 12, 1988, the property was determined eligible for designation as a National Historic Landmark by the Secretary of the Interior. Owner John Brunetti closed Hialeah Park to the public in 2001. Its facilities remain intact except for the stables which was demolished early 2007. The filly Cheeky Miss won the last race ever run at Hialeah on May 22, 2001. Since closing, citizens of Hialeah have created an organization called Citizens to Save Hialeah Park.The mission of Citizens to Save Hialeah Park’s is the historic preservation of Hialeah Park Race Track. They Quote ” The Park was once the most beautiful race track in the world, it marks the beginnings of the city of Hialeah and its founders, features a unique central park area, and is a symbolic resting place for the horses that raced there and the millions of people who once cheered from the clubhouse and grandstand. Hialeah Park is the city’s most evident and only historical link with the rest of the nation. It deserves nothing less than to be completely restored and preserved.”
