Demolition of the former Northlands Park Racetrack and Casino has begun. What were winter barns, the Winner’s Circle, the racetrack’s in-field tunnel, the 79th Street barns, and the jockey dorm are all slated for demolition and will clear the way for private developments expected to house some 7,500 residents.

The historical property that is undergoing is approximately 220 acres and is only about 5 kilometers from downtown.

Once the wrecking ball is finished with this undertaking, it can move across 118 Ave and begin demolishing of the Coliseum
