A 1 mile dirt oval on the Lucas County/Fort Miami Fairgrounds in Toledo,
Ohio. It was first used in 1902, with 1/4 mile and 3/8 mile midget
tracks later cut into the infield. Racing continued through until 1957,
when the fairgrounds were demolished to make way for the Lucas County
Recreation Center.

Part of the racetrack grandstands were converted to become the third
base stands of Ned Skeldon Stadium, which was the home of the Toledo Mud
Hens minor league baseball team from 1965-2002. Surprisingly, the
stadium is still used for amateur baseball today.

Many other sports facilities exist within the footprint of the old
track, including a quarter midget track.
