Woodville Racecourse is home to the Woodville-Pahiatua Racing Club (Inc).  Woodville and Pahiatua were separate Racing Clubs until they amalgamated in 1986. The club now has members from all over with the central districts including Woodville, Pahiatua and Dannevirke. The course is nestled below the Tararua and Ruahine ranges - the track was established at Woodville in 1889 and hosts five meetings a year.
