BUILDINGS & FACILITIES

 

YEAR: 1988

PAVILION

The Pavillion opened at the Canterbury Park TC's meeting on October 5, 1988.

The Pavillion replaced the marquee at the top of the straight, which had been used for the previous three years by sponsors and firms. The marquee had proved extremely popular, but strong winds had caused such damage that a permanent construction was necessary.

"The new variety is most impressive," said Trevor Davis, the Secretary-Manager of Addington Raceway. "Two walls are made completely of glass, so people don't have to go out onto the platform to watch a race. It has facilities that are designed for the function market. It can be hired out, just like Twiggers," he said.

The first sponsor to hire The Pavilion was the Merivale Mall.
