Wonderland Greyhound Park, Former greyhound racing track in Revere, Massachusetts.
Wonderland Greyhound Park was a racing facility in Revere featuring a 5/16-mile track equipped with underground heating pipes to enable operations throughout winter. The complex was designed to accommodate racing events under various weather conditions.
The facility opened in 1935 following Massachusetts's legalization of parimutuel betting and operated for decades as a greyhound racing venue. It closed in 2010 when state legislation banned dog racing activities.
The Wonderland Derby emerged as a premier middle-distance racing event, attracting participants and spectators from across the United States to Massachusetts.
The location is situated in an urban area with good accessibility and is now a brownfield site that visitors can view from the perimeter. The grounds remain open to the public, though original structures are in various states of preservation or decay.
The greyhound Rural Rube set a world record of 31 seconds for the 5/16-mile distance in 1939. This remarkable achievement was honored with a gold medal during a retirement ceremony.
