Speedway Park is an established, mostly single-family neighborhood in North Jacksonville, in Duval County, in the 29th and Chase area near U.S. 1 and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway. It sits in the same general North Jacksonville corridor as the neighboring Moncrief Park and Grand Park neighborhoods, which share a similar built-out, mid-20th-century single-family character.

Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
County records show 172 qualified sales in Speedway Park across 2024–2025 (108 in 2024, 64 in 2025), median $127,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.
The housing stock is predominantly small to medium single-story homes on modest, grid-platted city lots. Because these are resale homes on an established street grid rather than new construction, each one trades on its own condition, updates, and lot rather than a builder price sheet. Public recreation nearby includes Catherine Hester McNair Park, commonly known as Brentwood Park, which the city lists with ball fields, basketball and tennis courts, a playground, a community center, and a historic bandstand, along with the public Brentwood Golf Course.
The neighborhood's name recalls Jacksonville's mid-century motor racing era, but the documented Jacksonville Speedway (also called Speedway Park), the dirt-oval track that ran NASCAR Grand National races from the early 1950s into the 1960s before closing in 1973, was located at Lenox Avenue and Plymouth Street on the city's west side, a different part of Jacksonville. Treat any specific claim about how this neighborhood got its name as unverified until confirmed with a local historical source or the Duval County Property Appraiser's plat records.
