Turf Paradise has continually operated at the same location at 19th Ave and Bell since it opened in 1956. At the time the average cost of a house in Phoenix was $15,000, Elvis Presley was dominating the music charts, and Turf Paradise was the Valley’s first sports franchise, predating the Diamondbacks, the Cardinals, the Mercury, or the Suns.
When it opened, there were no paved roads in the area and few if any homes. Today, an entire city has grown up around this iconic racetrack.
“Turf Paradise has been delivering live local horseracing to Arizona for nearly seven decades entertaining casual fans, expert handicappers, and those looking for affordable family fun,” said Turf Paradise General Manager Vince Francia.
Turf Paradise at 19th Ave and Bell opened its doors in 1956 and is Arizona’s First Sports franchise and operates more than 30 Off Track Betting locations in Arizona.
