Gloucester Park is a harness racing course in Perth, Western Australia. In the suburb of East Perth, the oval course is adjacent to the WACA ( 31°57′25″S, 115°52′56″E). The track is lit, and Friday night pacing events are popular.

Gloucester Park has also been used for Telstra Rally Australia.[2]

Between 1977 and 1979 Gloucester Park was used as a venue for World Series Cricket matches.[3]
