Good Time Park

A largely unmaintained field for the first century of its existence, the area that would become Good Time Park was originally called Fiddler's Green.Sports promoter and horse owner William H. Cane bought the land in 1926, named the new track Good Time Park, and began to hold races there.[2] The Hambletonian was held at Good Time Park for the next 26 years, with the exception of 1943, when wartime gas shortages caused it to be moved to Empire City Track in Yonkers.Although it has gone back to woods and fields, Good Time Park's unusual triangular shape is still visible from the air, with New York State Route 17M now cutting through the southern part of the track.Land prices in Goshen and surrounding areas have soared in recent years, however, and in 2002, a new development of 116 single-family homes was proposed, despite community opposition.
