Belmont Park’s $455 million makeover, led by Populous, will introduce a modernized venue with enhanced green spaces, winterized grandstand, and year-round racing capabilities by 2026. Photo courtesy New York Racing Association Inc. (NYRA)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Belmont Park, the home of the Belmont Stakes, is slated for a $455 million modernization\u2014proposed by the New York Racing Association (NYRA). Global architect firm, Populous, will oversee the recent redesign of the new thoroughbred racing facilities.<\/p>\n

The redesign project, expected for completion in 2026, will replace the existing 0.1 million m2<\/sup> (1.25 million sf) structure with a nearly 25,548 m2<\/sup> (275,000 sf) venue. The proposed building will still have a 50,000-person capacity similar to the existing grandstand, but with more available green space for spectators.<\/p>\n

In addition to the new winterized grandstand, tunnels for both pedestrians and vehicles will provide access to Belmont Park\u2019s 18-ha (45-acre) infield. Further, the existing barn area and backstretch will be improved by the construction of three new dormitories. A synthetic track and new racing surfaces will be included in the redesign project allowing the new facility to function on a year-round basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe transformation of Belmont Park will secure the future of thoroughbred racing in New York State, create thousands of jobs and drive tourism to Long Island and the region for decades to come,\u201d says David O\u2019Rourke, NYRA president and CEO. \u201cNYRA is committed to building a world-class destination that will set the global standard for a racing facility, and we thank Governor Kathy Hochul for the opportunity to completely re-imagine Belmont.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
