Sheffield Park, Chateaugay, 1920s


Sheffield Park, Chateaugay, as it was between 1920 and 1930. The grandstand was a beehive of activity when the Chateaugay Ponies played baseball. At one time it also drew crowds to watch horse racing and bets were wagered. Some wins and some losses, in the golden days before the depression.

Where in Chateaugay was Sheffield Park located?

The racetrack was located in the area, now overgrown in brush, south of the milk plant, or behind the co-op.
