| HULL GREYHOUND STADIUM This site is not an official website for the track shown here and is neither approved or endorsed by the stadium. I am indebted to Richard English for the scans of badges on this page. |
The greyhound track at Craven Park in Hull was situated at 0° 17' W 53° 45' N and first opened for racing under NGRC rules on 6th September 1928. Racing continued at this venue until 1986 when the track moved to New Craven Park with reference 0° 15' W 53° 45' N. |

| The post prestigious races to be held at the meeting are the Jack Lawlor trophy and the Charles Key Memorial trophy. Racing finally ceased at the track in April 1988. |

Track Records, as of 1947, are shown below together with an indication of how fast the time is in comparison to other tracks, both for currently open and defunct tracks, in the UK. Ratings are between 0 and 100, where 100 is an extremely fast time and reflects the speed of the track, tightness of the circuit and quality of greyhound visiting the tracks. I am extremely grateful to Tony Nash for providing the data. |
