We have upgraded our irrigation system and built three ponds so an endless water supply could be used from the local spring that runs through the course to irrigate our course proper enabling a superb racing surface. The track is available to other clubs to utilize if and when needed in these volatile weather pattern times.





Horse racing in Paeroa goes back 131 years.
