Canidrome, Sports venue in Macau, China
Canidrome is a sports venue in Macau, China, built for greyhound racing with a large oval track and tiered seating. The site also includes kennels and betting areas, and it sits in a busy part of the city.
Opened in the 1960s, the venue was once a popular spot for greyhound racing in Macau. It closed in 2018 after the sport was banned, and the site now awaits a new purpose.
The name comes from the English word for a dog racing track, a reminder of the sport that once defined the place. Today, the surrounding streets are busy with daily life, and the venue's facade still draws curious looks from passersby.
The venue is easy to reach on foot from nearby streets, and the main entrance is on the side facing the road. Visitors should check local listings for public access, as the site is not always open to walk-in guests.
The track was one of the few places in Asia to host professional greyhound racing, drawing visitors from across the region. Its closure marked the end of an era for the sport in Macau.
