The first racecourse in Wyong Township was built in 1912 by George Goldsmith on the site containing the present Wyong racecourse.
The course was closed during World War Two and re-opened on 14th September 1946. The Wyong course was again closed for a short period in 1955 whilst a new grandstand was built at a cost of twenty-two thousand pounds. That stand was later replaced by the Paul Levick Stand on 25th August 1991 at a cost of six million dollars, including all amenities.
The new stand is now regarded as the best function centre in the district.
