Milnerton Racecourse Nature Reserve, Protected environmental area in Western Cape, South Africa.

The reserve spans 19 hectares of natural landscapes, featuring wetlands, grasslands, and coastal shrubland within the Table Bay Nature Reserve system.

The conservation area emerged from the former Milnerton horse racing track, which transformed into a protected reserve to safeguard local wildlife populations.

The Environmental Management Committee integrates local stakeholders, including Royal Ascot Master Property Owners Association, to maintain the ecological balance.

The northern section offers footpath access for nature observation, while the southern portion remains restricted due to its botanical importance.

The reserve's neutral to acidic sand on ferricrete geology supports 232 plant species and provides habitat for Cape clawless otters and water mongooses.
