DUNFERMLINE (EAST END 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 Scottish town of Dunfermline in Fife had 2 greyhound tracks in the past, the earliest of which was at East End Park and situated at 3° 26' W 56° 4' N. This independently run track opened on 5th June 1931 and was built around the perimeter of Dunfermline Athletic  FC ground. It remained open until 1951. A second track opened at Milesmark just 5 years after the East End Park had opened. Although the greyhound track closed over 60 years ago, the football ground remains.

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
