About Aqueduct Racetrack

Welcome to Aqueduct Racetrack, a storied Thoroughbred racing facility in South Ozone Park, Queens. Known affectionately as The Big A, Aqueduct hosts marquee races and sits within Resorts World New York City, offering a complete day-out experience with racing, dining, and entertainment. As of 2026, live racing is slated to move to Belmont Park after Aqueduct's final season, but the venue remains a cornerstone of New York racing history. This guide covers seating and viewing options, parking and transportation, and nearby hotels and dining to help you secure your seats and plan a smooth visit.

Address: 110-00 Rockaway Boulevard, South Ozone Park, NY 11420. Capacity: 32,941 seated, with higher attendance on major race days. The facility includes three tracks (main dirt, inner turf, and a track rail area) and a mix of seating styles from grandstand to picnic-style benches. Whether youre betting on a classic allowance race or watching the stakes beneath the lights, weve got you covered with practical planning tips and trusted partner recommendations.

Events to know: Wood Memorial Stakes, Cigar Mile Handicap, Carter Handicap, Gazelle Stakes, and more. From the nostalgia of Secretariat retirement in 1973 to todays competitive fields, Aqueduct remains a hub of New York racing history and family-friendly entertainment. Use this page to find tickets, understand parking options, and connect with nearby hotels and dining that fit your travel plan.

Transport options make getting to Aqueduct straightforward. Access via the A train (Aqueduct/North Conduit Ave station) and multiple bus routes (Q7, Q11, Q37, Q41) are reliable ways to reach the track without the stress of driving. General parking is typically free, with clubhouse parking available for a modest fee subject to venue rules. If youre planning a multi-day visit, consider booking a stay at Resorts World New York City on-site, which includes the Hyatt Regency JFK at Resorts World New York for a seamless experience.
