I visited the Hastings Park racecourse as an evening out arranged by my employer for the staff. The camaraderie was fun but the venue was cramped and the food mediocre. I am not a gambler so I did not enjoy the betting side of it.

We took my mother over to watch the horse races for an early mother's day surprise. We booked reservations for the buffet at Silk's and although the views are fantastic, we were disappointed that they had ignored our request to sit on an upper tier. They placed us on the bottom tier right next to an exterior door which the... More

The enthusiasim was contagious. Food, although not great was fine. There was plenty to see, not just the track. I enjoyed watching the horses being led around before the race. It was a great day so staying outside was not a problem. Washrooms were well labeled.

My wife and I enjoy a sunny afternoon at the track and it is all the betterwhen you can look out over the North Shore mountains. Six bucks for parking and a $2 flutter on every race and it is a way better value for money than an NHL hockey game. Food choices have improved and between races you can... More

We came here for an office function and we had an absolute blast! The food was way, way better than I expected. Had never been to a horse race before and it was a lot of fun.

Our Family had a Box at the Track at Hastings Race Track - the service was beyond excellent and our food and drinks came quickly. They were very well informed of how to teach us how the races were run and what info meant what - very informative and we learnt a lot. Because of what we learnt, we also... More

Stand near the gates for a heart pounding experience. The power of racing horses. Bet if you like or just be there for the thrill. The hot dogs and hamburgers a good too. Stand near the paddock to get up close to the beautiful horses... a great way to spend a few hours

It's a small, tight track and the purses are such that it doesn't attract the top horses. The addition of the slot machines was supposed to enhance the viability, but it still seems to struggle. But if you just want to bet a couple of bucks on the ponies, have a hotdog, and be able to watch the light changes... More
