The Hialeah Park Race Track (also called Miami Jockey Club, Hialeah Race Track, and Hialeah Park) is a United States National Historic Place. The park is also an official Audubon Bird Sanctuary. Visitors will see hundreds of flamingos in the infield.

Horse racing within the park stopped in May of 2001, and then some racing was hosted in late 2009 and in 2010, but stopped once again. Live racing began once more in December 2014, in time for the winter tourist season.

Other events at the park include big-name boxing, casino activities with almost 1,000 slot machines and other games, famous entertainers, and big screen simulcasts of horse racing from other cities. See more information below.

This famous horse racing track was built in 1922 to open in 1925 with an architectural style known as Mediterranean. The landscaping was salted with pink flamingos from Cuba and South America in order to add personality and public regional appeal. In early years, it featured the first commercial Jai Alai court in America, a dance hall, and a roller coaster in addition to racing venues.

The descendants of these first birds live at Hialeah today and comprise a national treasure that tourists and residents love. The park is actually an Official US Sanctuary for the American Flamingo, according to the National Audubon Society.

In the 21st century, several architectural and preservation groups have raised money to prevent Hialeah Park from being turned into a housing development filled with condominiums and retail spaces. A large core of concerned citizens want to keep it as a historic landmark and as an events venue for racing, casino, and sporting events. Tourists would also rather visit a race track with historic flamingos, rather than a housing development - even a new multi-use development.

In fact, the lake in the park includes many islands that are home to several flocks of up to 300 pink flamingos each. These gorgeous birds and their protected sanctuary cannot be destroyed for a housing development.

Hialeah itself is a Seminole Native American word that means "High Prairie."
