Tucson Greyhound Park, Inc. company history timeline

1950

In 1950, County Fair Racing expanded to Graham, Navajo, Pima and Yavapai counties in addition to racing at the State Fairgrounds.

1954

In 1954, Rillito added a 5/8ths mile oval and has since been the southern Arizona home of Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing.

1956

That dream became a reality on January 7, 1956, when Turf Paradise opened its doors becoming one of Arizona’s first sports franchises.

2001

Over the years, summer racing became so popular that it eventually outgrew the small fairgrounds and in 2001 moved to the newly built Yavapai Downs Race track, a 120-acre facility located in Prescott Valley, Arizona.

2009

Adoptions soared during that time, and again after the Phoenix track at Washington and 40th Streets closed in 2009.

2012

In 2012, Rillito Park Race Track was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

2015

The Arizona Legislature consolidates the Arizona Department of Racing under the Arizona Department of Gaming, which conveys regulatory authority for live horse and dog racing, harness racing, pari-mutuel wagering, and boxing and mixed martial arts as of July 3, 2015.
