context_page_description: Belmont Park is a seasonal-use Long Island Rail Road station on the grounds of the Belmont Park racetrack in Elmont, New York. The station is a terminus of a spur line that lies south of and between the Queens Village and Bellerose stations on the Main Line/Hempstead Branch. Consistent with the names of other lines and branches of the LIRR, the spur line is called the Belmont Park Branch.
  Train service to the Belmont Park station is operated only when Belmont Park is open. Starting in 2021, the venue will also be served full-time by the Elmont station, which will be located directly to the north and along the Main Line/Hempstead Branch.
  Unlike the rest of the property on Belmont Park, the Belmont Park station is part of a small sliver of Belmont property that is located in Queens County. The racing complex is located in Nassau County.
