Racecourse
General Information
The Racecourse has a long tradition of being the major open space in the town for both regular formal sports and for major events.
The eastern side is surrounded by fine Victorian housing and, with the Listed Pavilion within the park, forms part of the Kingsley Conservation Area. The western end includes the earlier heritage connections of St Andrew's Priory buildings.
This open space of just over 118 acres, and notably one of the largest landmarks in the town, received its present name when it became a venue for horse racing.
