Sunderland Greyhound Stadium, Greyhound racing stadium in Sunderland, England
Sunderland Greyhound Stadium features multiple racing tracks, dedicated spectator areas, a restaurant, and executive boxes spread across its grounds near Newcastle Road.
The venue opened in March 1940 with an investment of £60,000, designed by Matkin and Hawkins architects under the initial name Boldon Greyhound Stadium.
The stadium represents a strong connection to local communities, particularly drawing crowds from mining regions who participated in racing events during the 1950s.
The facility operates races every Wednesday and Friday evening, with additional BAGS meetings scheduled for Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays throughout the year.
Between 1964 and 1974, the stadium diversified its entertainment by hosting speedway races, featuring teams like The Saints, The Stars, and The Gladiators.
