Sunderland Greyhound Stadium, Greyhound racing stadium in Sunderland, England
Sunderland Greyhound Stadium is a racing facility with dedicated tracks, spectator seating areas, a restaurant, and executive boxes arranged across the site. The venue sits near Newcastle Road and accommodates hundreds of visitors during each event.
The venue opened in 1940 as Boldon Greyhound Stadium, designed by architects Matkin and Hawkins. This marked the start of its long history as a popular racing center in the region.
The venue has been a gathering place for neighbors and families for decades who come together to watch races and spend time with one another. The events remain central to how local people spend their leisure time.
The stadium hosts events on several evenings throughout the week, giving visitors flexibility in planning their visit. It is wise to check ahead for active days and arrive early to secure a good viewing spot.
Between 1964 and 1974 the venue also hosted speedway racing with local teams competing. This period brought a different form of motorsport excitement to the grounds.
