KEIGHLEY 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 helping to construct this page. 

The greyhound track in the Yorkshire town of Keighley was at Parkwood Stadium between Beeches Road and Aireworth Road  and situated at 1° 53' W 53° 52' N. It operated under NGRC rules throughout its history, opening on 22nd November 1947.

The track closed its gates for the final time on 24th December 1974. Currently the site on which the former track stood is now Aire Valley Road.

This section gives a comprehensive picture of the badges produced by the track throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend a visit to
