Place Summary
Jungle Park Speedway was a historic half-mile dirt racetrack in Parke County, Indiana, near Bloomingdale and Turkey Run State Park. It opened in 1926 and became famous for attracting talented drivers, including several future Indianapolis 500 winners. Racing eventually ended after a final event in 1960, and today the old grandstand, track remnants, and a historical marker remain. Jungle Park is located at 8449 US-41, Bloomingdale, Indiana. It is a historic site rather than an operating speedway.
