HorseRacing.com - Aqueduct - Horse Racing
Aqueduct’s main course is a 1 1/8 mile track. This, together with a 1 mile inner dirt course and a 7/8 mile turf course sees to all the needs of those who race here. There is enough parking to cater to 8 000 cars and the handicapped parking is located near the clubhouse and grandstand for convenience. For those daunted by the thought of parking in the furthest parking, there is a courtesy shuttle bus service available in the public parking areas. Admission fees to the Grandstand, clubhouse and skyline club are low and are even free to children under 12 years of age. Other services that can be enjoyed include binocular rentals, race replay centers, ATM machines, coat checks, first aid, handicapping stations and a lost and found center. The Aqueduct Racetrack, also known as ‘the Big A’, is situated in Queens, New York City. It seldom hosts any very important races today due to unfavourable weather conditions but it did host the Jockey Club Gold Cup between 1958 and 1974 and the Breeder’s Cup in 1985. A large flea market, run from the racetrack’s north parking lot, draws additional crowds every weekend. There are also plans to build a casino on the grounds which will draw even more spectators to the facility.

Berks Parks: Allegheny Aqueduct
The Schuylkill Canal, a slackwater navigation system, began at Mill Creek, Schuylkill County, and traveled to its destination in Philadelphia; both the canal and the aqueduct ceased to be used as a transportation system in 1931. The aqueduct is a massive 112 1/2 foot structure consisting of five red sandstone and brownstone arches done with the "keystone" theme. In the 1830’s, bricks were added underneath the arches to prevent leakage. The canal was originally lined with clay, but in 1870 a concrete liner was formed into the top of the aqueduct, and metal spikes that protruded from the concrete were used to hold timber planking that prevented the canal boats from scraping on the concrete. In 1983, the Schuylkill River Greenway Association began efforts to restore the aqueduct and subsequently had the structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The restoration efforts were celebrated in February, 1990, and now the Berks County Parks and Recreation Department administers this historic landmark from Berks County’s past.
