On the Grid : Gloucester Park

"In the 1920s Perth’s drapery moguls, the Brennan Bros, established a gentlemanly club for trotting enthusiasts. And a club is in need of a clubhouse; nay, not just a clubhouse, but its own racing course. It took a decade to take a mosquito-infested swamp and turn it into an oasis for lovers of the gee-gees and gambling; featuring a glam grandstand, palm-lined pacing track and 86-window (!) tote house for punters to place their bets at. Originally named Brennan Park (an honour lost due to disagreements, debts and drinking), the racecourse opened in 1929 to an attendance of 17,000 people – almost 10% of the city’s then population. Despite a multitude of modifications over the years, the elegant entrance gates remain largely unchanged. And if it is your thing, you can still trundle along to the races every Friday night." - Studio Bomba

“A Fun Friday Night Experience in Perth!” It was such a great experience to feel like a local in Perth, enjoying a Friday night at the horse races while soaking in the relaxed atmosphere. We spent the evening dining at cafes, enjoying the cool breeze, having fun conversations, and watching the horses race. Although horse racing here is mostly tied to gambling, we still had a great time without betting, as there are plenty of cafes and delicious food options to enjoy. Plus, for those bringing kids, entry is free—making it a fun outing for families too!

Great Park, good views and fun betting. However, we came on new years eve and the bottle of sparkling wine we were served was warm, $45 and no ice buckets. On a 30 degree night, not the best. Also had to drink it from a paper pint cup🤣🤣

Gloucester Park, great venue for the Perth Stamp Show during the day. They also had a wonderful display of antique bicycles and radios. We later stayed back and watched the harness racing in the evening. Good selection of drinks at the bar and hot food was available. The fresh seafood basket was the most popular, which came with a very generous serving of fries.

It was a nice evening at the horse racing. Just the food was a little bit too expensive for the quality, but we had good time spent with family and friends

This is my second experience of Italian night at Gloucester Park. This is a well organised event with many food trucks with tasty food and drinks on offer. You can also get cold beers and wine if you like, sadly I was the designated driver that night. There were 10 races that night where the horses 'trot' rather than gallop which is very strange to watch at first. You can bet on the races to add to the excitement of the race. There were fireworks scheduled, however we did not stay for them. Great night. Will be coming back yet again.

Came here for NYE with family. It was a good night. Food was ok, but the age of the facilities is starting to show. Would make it very special if the place get a Reno.

As a health officer of an exciting NYE family event at Gloucester. It tend out to be memorable activities for both children and parents that ended with a beautiful fireworks to welcome the new year. The event had everything including foodies, bouncing castle and adequate security arrangements.
