Saratoga Race Course is a thoroughbred horse racing track located on Union Avenue in Saratoga Springs, New York. Opened in 1863, it is often considered to be the oldest major sporting venue of any kind in the country, but is actually the fourth oldest racetrack in the US.

The Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) has been a top summer music and arts festival location in North America for over 50 years. Sheltered under magnificent stands of pine and hemlock trees in the 2400-acre Spa State Park, and surrounded by healing medicinal springs, woodland walks, and historic architectural gems, SPAC sits in the perfect confluence of human-made and natural beauty. SPAC is a community refuge where Art and Nature meet to illuminate each other, and to restore and enrich all who gather here. 

The Victoria Pool and Peerless Pool Complex are two fabulous swimming pool facilities at Saratoga Spa State Park. The Victoria Pool was built in the early 1930s as part of the health trend that was sweeping the country. The Peerless Pool Bathhouse Complex was built later in the 1960s.
