Since 1846 this facility has been the home to the York Jockey Club, which is the oldest regional race club in Australia and is the oldest operating regional racetrack in Australia. This is one of the few remaining regional racecourses incorporating timber buildings and as a racecourse constructed in the interwar period. Reflects the growth and development of York into an important regional centre during the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century.
Located at the foot of Mt Bakewell, in a rural picturesque setting, is the racecourse, grandstand, tote building and bar area, pavilion, committee rooms, stable shelters and associated yards, track elements and grounds.
