ARKLOW 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 Irish town of Arklow, in County Wicklow and on the River Avoca, had a greyhound track situated at 6° 10' W 52° 48' N which first held greyhound racing in 1940.The town is close to the capital Dublin and operated independently and successfully until holding its final meeting in 1953.

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
