PLYMOUTH PLYMSTOCK 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, with one of the least well known being on Plymstock Park and situated at 4° 5' W 50° 21' N. The track was independently run and held its first meeting on 26th May 1931.

With so many tracks in or around the town, competition was fierce and the track had closed within the year.

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
