Grandstand Dreams Resurface at Victoria Park | Adelaide News

A long-dormant dream of a permanent grandstand at Victoria Park is stirring again, with past champions like former Deputy Premier Kevin Foley recalling how political missteps and shifting priorities derailed the plan back in 2007. Foley blames former allies—including then-Tourism Minister Dr. Jane Lomax-Smith, now Adelaide’s Lord Mayor—for backing away from support, while the council refused a long-term lease. Though the Premier now says he’s just listening, Foley believes he’s ready to fight for the idea, especially since horse racing’s gone and the park’s future should serve the public. With a track record of pushing through tough projects, Foley could be the key voice to revive this vision—if it gains traction.
