Morphettville Parks Racecourse

The Morphettville Parks racecourse is located about 5 kilometres from the Adelaide city centre in the suburb of Morphettville, South Australia. The 'Parks' course is situated at the existing Morphettville track which now provides another city turf track in Adelaide to complement Allan Scott Park Morphettville.

A new 1400m chute was incorporated, allowing for the running of classic group and listed races that were previously only held at the now defunct Victoria Park and Cheltenham Park tracks, which is where the name 'Parks' emerged. It is home to the South Australian Jockey Club (SAJC).

The 'Parks' was completed for racing on June 15, 2009, with the first meeting held on Wednesday June 17th, 2009, and enables the SAJC to hold up to 70 race meetings a year.

South Australia Jockey Club (SAJC)

The South Australian Jockey Club administers metropolitan racing in Adelaide and the SAJC dates back to 1856.

Under Sir John Morphett's leadership, the SAJC held Morphettville's first meeting in 1875 and the first race was won by "Red Gauntlet", owned by Hon. Thomas Elder, who had been a catylyst in the creation of Morphettville racecourse. The SAJC takes care of racing at both Adelaide city tracks, Morphettville and Morphetville Parks.
