| BOURNEMOUTH (VICTORIA PARK) 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 south coast seaside town of Bournemouth had two greyhound tracks in the past. The first was on the ill-fated racecourse, but only operated for part of 1928. The second one was situated on Victoria Park and located at 1° 53' W 50° 44' N. It opened its gates for the first time on 23rd June 1928 racing under rules. |
   |
It ran successfully for 6 years before closing on 29th September 1934. |

I am grateful to Jon Seddon for the following link to a map showing the whereabouts of the old track |
| 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 http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwgreyhoundd-21 where further reading can be undertaken. |
