PLYMOUTH DEVONPORT 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 West Country coastal town of Plymouth has had at least 5 greyhound tracks in the past, and one of the early ones to open was on West Park and situated at 4° 10' W 50° 24' N.

The independently run track first opened for business on 10th October 1931, but the venture was short-lived and the track closed just one year later in 1932.

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
