The Bathurst Harness Racing club paceway is located at the Bathurst Show Grounds, opposite the Bathurst Visitor Information Centre on the eastern side of Bathurst central business district, and was launched as a night race meeting venue on 14 November 1953.

Feature race meetings are hosted in the warmer summer months, and include the annual Bathurst RSL Soldiers Saddle and Shirley Turnbull Memorial in December. The Oberon community race night in January, Star Trek Series in February and the annual 11 day Black Toyota Gold Crown Carnival in March.
