Dexter Park (Queens)
Dexter Park was a public park located in the neighborhood of Woodhaven, Queens, Woodhaven, Queens, New York City, just north of Elderts Lane and Jamaica Avenue, not far from the borough line with Brooklyn. It had a long early history starting in the 19th century as a recreational park, which replaced a racetrack. Horse racing In the 19th century, Queens lacked the stricter building rules of Brooklyn. Hotels sprung up and Woodhaven became the site of two racetracks: the Union Course (1821) and the Centerville (1825). Union Course was a nationally famous racetrack situated in the area now bounded by 78th Street, 82nd Street, Jamaica Avenue and Atlantic Avenue. Elderts Lane was the city line and the park was just beyond that in Queens. Legend has it that the track was named for a famous horse called Dexter, reputedly buried at the site. However, the ''Brooklyn Eagle'' disputed this claim in 1891: The name of Hiram Woodruff recalls Dexter Park. Hiram was the first owner of that proper ...
