Heute

Tylden is home to the large Woodside Park Stud thoroughbred racehorse pre-training facility established at a cost of A$20m. The training facility was strongly opposed by residents over many years of public matters. In recent years it has been taken over by Mark Rowsthorn and is focusing on the breeding of thoroughbreds rather than a racing stable. Wadham Park is now known as Woodside Park Stud.[3]
