Dunedin’s historic Forbury Park will close, the harness racing club has confirmed.
The news came after a New Zealand Racing-commissioned review recommended the park be closed.
The future of the park, which celebrated 100 years of harness racing in 2009, was untenable given current operating and expenditure costs, the Forbury Park Trotting Club said in a statement.
The club was working with the Otago Racing Club for the benefit of both racing codes in Dunedin.
