History
The track opened in 1958 as Hinsdale Raceway, a harness racing venue that did well into the early 1980s. In 1985 management converted it to year-round greyhound racing to cut costs.
Burdened by debt, the track closed in late 2008, and its bankruptcy case was still unresolved five years later. The racetrack was demolished in 2013.
