Hippodrome Du Parc De Beyrouth (The Beirut Hippodrome)

The Beirut Hippodrome founded in 1885 at Beir Hassan, a suburb of Beirut, was moved in 1918 to the Pine Forest of Beirut. It is at the Residence des Pins that General Gouraud proclaimed the “Grand Liban” in 1920.

The grounds and all the racing set-ups is the property of the Municipality of Beirut, and is managed by a nonprofit organization SPARCA Society for the Protection and Improvement of the Arabian Horse in Lebanon.
