Belmont Park was last renovated in 1968. The new Belmont Park, which is being designed by renowned architectural firm Populous in conjunction with NYRA, will be centered around a roughly 300,000 square ft, five-story building featuring the modern amenities and hospitality offerings sports fans now expect from world-class sports and entertainment venues.

By reducing the building’s footprint from the previous 1.25 million square feet, and opening the infield for the first time, the new Belmont will dramatically increase the amount of green space available to fans and the surrounding community.

In addition to the new grandstand, NYRA is renovating the existing main dirt track and two turf courses and adding a new, all-weather synthetic surface. As a result, the new Belmont Park will feature the safest and most modernized racing surfaces in the sport.

The centuries-old Japanese White Pine that has elevated the paddock experience for generations of fans, and provides the inspiration for the current Belmont Park logo, is being surveyed and protected to the greatest extent possible throughout the demolition and construction phases.

In addition, Belmont’s extensive collection of racing artwork and murals are being preserved. NYRA has safely set aside some of Belmont’s best-known artifacts such as the wrought-iron gates of the late, great Jerome Park, as well as the wrought-iron fencing from the clubhouse entrance and the paddock featuring the colors of each of the 13 Triple Crown winners. These artifacts have been safely removed and will be stored for future use.

Construction is nearing completion. The new building's topping out ceremony was celebrated in October 2025. Opening Day at the new Belmont Park is September 18, 2026.
