Ascot Park (then Northampton Park) was opened in 1922 along Ohio State Route 8 on 63 acres of farmland. The unusual track was only 3/4 mile long, allowing spectators to see the horses and jockeys clearly when on the backstretch. The track closed at the onset of the Great Depression, and was purchased out of receivership for $17,500.
The new owners renovated and reopened the facility in 1935 and changed the name to Ascot Park in 1938. The track changed hands several times, and was used for fairs, auctions, circuses, motorcycle races and pageants. By 1975 the track had become a safety hazard, so local firefighters burned down its grandstands and other buildings in 1976 as a training exercise. The site is now part of a 200-acre industrial park.
