Jim Dandy Day 25-26 Jul 2025

There are several options for parking when attending a fixture at the racecourse:

• General Parking: Free - you can expect a long walk to the track, but Gate A is the closest gate to the General Parking area and provides access to the Grandstand
• Oklahoma Parking: Preferred East, Madison, and the Rec Hall - there are 3 preferred parking lots track visitors can take advantage of. The East lot is located just across from the track's main entrance at the corner of Union and East Avenues. The Madison lot is further north at the western end of the Oklahoma Training Track. The Rec Hall lot is located in the northeast area of the Race Course near the General Parking area
• Trackside Parking - a priority parking area is available on the same side of Union Avenue as the Race Course, so crossing the street is not necessary. The walk to the gate is also much shorter than it is from the General Parking and Preferred Parking lots
• Lawn Parking: Various lawns and lots on surrounding streets - many residents offer lawn parking for a fee. These spots can make it easier to get out after racing ends
• Handicapped Parking: All NYRA lots (General, Oklahoma, and Trackside) - all NYRA lots at the track have accessible parking available for guests with disabilities. These spaces are designated for vehicles displaying a current state-issued disability placard or license plate.
• Valet Parking - there is limited daily valet service available

Ride-sharing options like Uber and Lyft have a designated drop-off/pick-up spot just across Union Avenue from the Race Course.

You can also arrive at the track in style by booking limo transportation from the airport or train station.
