Woodville Racecourse

Woodville racecourse, New Zealand.

Woodville racecourse is home to Woodville-Pahiatua Racing Club (Inc) .  The course is nestled below the Tararua and Ruahine ranges with windmills standing as sentinels, which has made Woodville "The Windmill Capital of New Zealand".

Woodville is a Junction town, with Manawatu, Wairarapa & Hawke's Bay being on our borders.  Coming through the gorge from Manawatu, or up from Masterton or traveling down from Hawke's Bay you just come to the intersection to all these places.  The intersection being Vogel Street with McLean Street. Turn (north) up McLean Street and travel approx 2km to town boundary and there is the racecourse.
