==History==
Woodlawn Park lies on the site of the former Woodlawn Race Course, which opened in 1859 and drew national attention. The course closed after the [[American Civil War|Civil War]]. R. A. Alexander, noted [[horse breeding|breeder]], was a major figure in buying estate for the National Racing Association. He contracted with [[Tiffany & Co.|Tiffany's]] to design the Woodlawn Vase, used in 1861 and 1862. It was buried for safety during the war. The vase is now the winner's trophy at the [[Preakness Stakes]], where a replica is given each year.
