Caulfield Racecourse — Local services in Melbourne

The racecourse reserve is probably one of the best kept secrets of Melbourne. Most people living in Caulfield and surrounding areas aren't even aware that public access to the racecourse is available on non-race days. The main entrance is via the large automatic gate near Pawfield Park, which is located at the roundabout between Glen Eira, Kambrook and Booran roads. Pedestrian access is available via the this entrance as well as via the tunnel from Caulfield station, or a rather unsuspecting gate from Glen Huntly Reserve or Queens Avenue. Once inside, you're able to access the main racetrack as well as the practice tracks, walk past the horse stables and fish in one of two lakes. The second lake is also a stormwater drain and frequented by dog owners where their pets can enjoy a nice swim. The colour of the southern lake is blue because of a dye addition to prevent the reeds drying out. It's meant to be non harmful to pets. Adjacent to the main lake is a parking lot, toilets and barbeque facilities. There's also a large gated off leash area for dogs, although most dogs are seeing running free within the massive expanse of the racecourse. A gated soccer pitch is also available at the southern section. The reserve is frequented by dog owners, families with young kids where they can cycle around, drone pilots and fitness enthusiasts as well since there is also a small exercise area near the northern lake. There are plans to redevelop the space in the near future and it's truly a shame that this space will lose it's...

Went to the drone show on Friday night. Show was great, but we barely made it in time due to the poor management of the venue. Sent to multiple gates for car park entry for a PRE-PAID car park entry. All information sent told us gate 2. After sitting in traffic for 20 mins they turned us away and told us gate 20. Spent another 10 mins getting there to be told they weren't taking anyone and had to go to gate 9. Spent another 15 mins stuck in traffic again and decided to ditch the PAID IN ADVANCE car park and find our own. If we waited to get to our park, the way everyone had been stuffed around and stuck in their cars trying to find where to go, it would have been about another 20 mins in traffic and we would have been late and locked out of the show. Exiting the venue was also crazy and they didn't open additional exit gates for at least 10 mins of everyone cramming and practically trampling on each other to get out. Forget trying to get food. Not allowed to take you own but spend 20 mins in a line....sure. Would never go to this venue again for any...
