The final races were on December 17, 2000,[1] and the track officially closed the following July.[2] ClosedLocated in the East Central section of the city between Sprague Avenue and the railroad, the facility assets were auctioned in March 2004,[7][8] and it was demolished shortly after.[9] The {{convert|63|acre|km2|sing=on}} site was bought by the city of Spokane in 2004 for $6.3 million,[10] with the intent of partnering with Spokane County for a new sewage treatment facility.[11] The deal soured and {{convert|48|acre|km2}} was sold in 2009 to SCAFCO, a steel-framing manufacturer.[12] Now owned by SCAFCO/The Stone Group and known as Playfair Commerce Park,[6] the site comprises eleven industrial lots.[13] Large metal silhouettes of race horses mark the entrance to the park.[13] Ferris FieldFerris Field,[14] a wooden baseball park, was adjacent to the parking lot west of the track.[15] Built in 1936,[16] it was the home of the minor league Spokane Indians through 1956, and was named for city attorney George M. Ferris, a former player and manager for the Indians (at Natatorium Park) who secured funding from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to build it.[24] The baseball diamond was aligned east, toward the horse track, resulting in challenging sun conditions for the fielders in the late afternoon and early evening. A fire in late October 1948 damaged most of the Ferris grandstands,[17][18] and it was rebuilt in steel in the spring of 1949.[19] It hosted high school football in 1948 and 1949, between the condemnation of Gonzaga Stadium and the opening of Joe Albi Stadium in 1950 (as "Spokane Memorial Stadium"). The new Triple-A Spokane Indians of the Pacific Coast League arrived in 1958 and moved about a mile (1½ km) east to the new Avista Stadium (originally "Fairgrounds Park") on Havana Street.[20] Playfair Mile Winners
