Although some further digging shows that the historic racetrack was actually south of the existing park, in what's now Washington Park Subdivision (between 6oth and 63rd).

I love the debonair fashions they had back then to go to sporting events. The photo looks just like the racing scene from My Fair Lady. Imagine, if you saw people at bears games with 3 piece suits and top hats!!! My how society has crumbled since then.
