Information

This former racecourse is cared for my the local community, but is now quite run down despite their best efforts. The toilet/shower block is out of order. There are two long drop toilets - the womens appears to be in working order, although vegetation blocks easy foot access and has no roof. A fair bit of bush bashing required to access the mens that was not inspected. There are some grassy areas under large shady gums and some picnic tables. There are a number of outbuildings including horse yards, the outdoor bar, and the old race callers stand. You can walk or drive the old track. Otherwise the grounds are overgrown. Donations to help fuel the mowers welcomed. Good for a low cost overnighter when visiting Port Albert.
