What Is Belmont Park?
Belmont Park in Elmont, just across the Queens-Nassau border, hosts the Belmont Stakes each June as the third leg of the Triple Crown. The 430-acre property sits on Hempstead Turnpike and shares its footprint with UBS Arena, home of the New York Islanders, which sits adjacent to the main racing grandstand.
Belmont Park has been a landmark of Long Island horse racing since 1905 and remains one of the largest thoroughbred tracks in the country. Beyond Belmont Stakes week, it runs spring and fall NYRA meets that draw fans from Queens, Nassau, and the tri-state area. UBS Arena opened in 2021 and now hosts Islanders home games, concerts, and large-format events. The complex is reachable via the LIRR Belmont Park branch on racing and event days, the Cross Island Parkway, and the Hempstead Turnpike. Parking is handled in large surface lots, with overflow staging for Stakes weekend.
How to Get There From Terp Bros Ozone Park
Terp Bros NYC Ozone Park sits roughly 10 miles southwest of Belmont Park. By car, the drive runs about 20 to 30 minutes depending on Belt Parkway and Cross Island Parkway conditions. Many Queens shoppers use our Ozone Park shop as their pickup stop before heading east to a Stakes day or Islanders game.
The cleanest driving route from Cross Bay Boulevard is north to the Belt Parkway, east to the Cross Island Parkway, and north to the Hempstead Turnpike exit at Belmont Park. For LIRR riders, the Belmont Park branch runs seasonal service directly onto the property on racing days, though regular event-day traffic also uses Elmont-UBS Arena station. If you want to avoid the Cross Island congestion before a large event, many locals leave earlier and make the Terp Bros stop part of the outbound trip rather than trying to squeeze it in after. Street parking is available along Cross Bay Boulevard and the side streets off 135th Avenue around our Ozone Park shop.
What to Order Before Belmont Park
Pre-order ahead of your visit to Belmont Park on our menu and choose pickup. Orders are typically ready in 15 to 30 minutes, which is faster than trying to stop somewhere near the track or the arena on a crowded event day. Every product is lab-tested under NY OCM standards.
Belmont days run long, whether you are there for a race card or a full Islanders schedule, and the grandstand, clubhouse, and arena all fall under smoke-free rules. Budtenders at our Ozone Park shop tend to steer event-day shoppers toward sealed, low-dose, pickup-friendly products that pair with the long pregame and postgame windows rather than anything intended for on-site use. Keep factory-sealed packaging intact while you are on venue property, and plan to enjoy your purchase at home before or after.

Belmont-area shoppers ask the same questions most event-day visitors ask: on-site consumption rules, whether sealed product travels with them, and whether Terp Bros has a formal relationship with NYRA or UBS Arena. Quick answers follow.
Is it legal to consume at Belmont Park? Cannabis consumption rules vary by venue. Most public-park and landmark policies mirror the NYC Smoke-Free Air Act, which restricts smoking on property. See Where You Can Smoke.
Can I bring my purchase inside Belmont Park? Sealed, unopened packages generally fall under normal possession rules (up to 3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate). Venue-specific bag checks can apply on Stakes weekend or for Islanders playoff games.
Does Terp Bros sponsor or partner with Belmont Park? No. Terp Bros NYC is an independent CAURD-licensed dispensary operating under NY OCM License OCM-CAURD-23-000020 (Astoria) / OCM-CAURD-25-000294 (Ozone Park). We provide practical information for customers visiting the area and have no formal tie to NYRA, UBS Arena, or the Islanders.
What First-Time Queens Shoppers Should Know About the Belmont Park Route
First-time Belmont shoppers usually underestimate how big the venue is and how traffic spikes on Stakes weekend or Islanders playoff nights. A few practical notes, plus the reminder that every product at Terp Bros is lab-tested under NY OCM standards, will make the trip smoother.
Start with the basics. Bring valid government-issued ID showing you are 21 or older; the check happens at our door and at venue entries. Order on the menu before leaving home so your pickup is ready by the time you arrive on Cross Bay Boulevard. Plan the route around traffic: Belt Parkway east to Cross Island Parkway north to Hempstead Turnpike is the spine of this trip, and on Stakes Saturday that spine backs up. The LIRR Belmont branch is a worthwhile option for race days, and the Elmont-UBS Arena station is the go-to for Islanders games. Keep every purchase factory-sealed until you are home. The track grandstand, clubhouse, and arena all enforce smoke-free rules, so plan to enjoy your purchase off-property. Finally, do not drive while using cannabis; plan a designated driver or rideshare for the ride home.
How the Belmont Park Route Compares Across Queens Neighborhoods
Belmont Park is the most eastern landmark Terp Bros serves and the one that most closely mirrors the Aqueduct Racetrack trip in terms of highway rhythm, but it draws a different crowd and a different schedule. Understanding the differences helps you plan the dispensary stop correctly.
Compared with Aqueduct Racetrack, where a Cross Bay Boulevard-first plan works best, Belmont sits across the Queens line and pulls more Nassau shoppers toward UBS Arena. Compared with Citi Field, where the 7 train does most of the work, Belmont is overwhelmingly a driving destination, with the LIRR Belmont branch adding coverage only on event days. Compared with MoMA PS1 or Astoria Park, which are walkable North Queens loops, Belmont is 10 miles out on the parkways and calls for a clear plan. Compared with JFK or LaGuardia, where timing is set by a flight, Belmont is set by post time or puck drop, so there is usually a little more flexibility in when you pick up. Practical takeaway: make Terp Bros Ozone Park your outbound stop, not your return leg, and the whole route feels straightforward.
What Budtenders Hear Most About the Belmont Park Route to Terp Bros
Budtenders at our Ozone Park counter field a recurring set of questions from Belmont-area shoppers: what to choose for a long race day or hockey night, whether sealed products are fine on the trip east, and whether our shop is the closest licensed option. Here is what they consistently tell them.
On product choice, they steer event-day shoppers toward 2.5 mg to 5 mg edibles, single-serve THC beverages, and sealed pre-rolls. That combination handles a long grandstand afternoon or a three-period hockey schedule without pushing anyone past where they want to be. On the legality of carrying sealed product, the rule is simple: factory-sealed packages under the personal-possession ceiling travel with you, venue security may still run bag checks, and on-property consumption is not allowed. On proximity, the answer is clear: Terp Bros NYC Ozone Park is the nearest CAURD-licensed shop on the outbound route from most of South and East Queens, operating under NY OCM License OCM-CAURD-23-000020 (Astoria) / OCM-CAURD-25-000294 (Ozone Park). Delivery is available through the cannabis delivery page if you cannot make it in person, and every unit on the shelf is lab-tested under NY OCM standards before it is sold.
