About

Racecourse ward lies in the northwestern part of Mansfield, bordered by the A617 Chesterfield Road. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types from inter-war semis to more modern developments. Its name derives from the former Mansfield Racecourse, whose grandstand once overlooked the site now occupied by the Oak Tree Lane estate and a large retail park. This history is reflected in several local street names.

The ward contains significant green space, including the expansive Racecourse Park with its sports pitches and woodland. The Oak Tree Leisure Centre serves as a community hub. A notable local feature is the 'Jockey', a stone statue of a horse and rider positioned at a roundabout, a permanent reference to the area's past. The area is well-served by schools and the retail park provides major supermarkets and other stores.
