STIRLING (FORTHBANK) 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 City of Stirling had a greyhound track in the early days of the sport which was situated in the extensive Forthbank Park area of the city. The local football team, then known as Kings Park, played on the park and the greyhound track was situated on the perimeter of the pitch at 3° 55' W 56° 6' N. The inaugural meeting was held on 11th March 1932 and the meeting continued in various guises until the outbreak of the War. After the War had ended all attempts to revive the meeting failed because the site had suffered bombing raids during the War.
