Sunderland Greyhound Stadium is a greyhound racing track situated slightly to the north of Sunderland, England.[1] Designed by architects Matkin and Hawkins, it was built at a cost of £60,000 and opened in March 1940. Speedway races were held at the track from 1964 to 1974, with home teams including The Saints and The Gladiators. Greyhound racing returned in the 1990s after a major revamp. It was voted "Northern Greyhound Track of the Year" by the British Greyhound Racing Board in 2005.
Racing takes place on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings as well as an additional BAGS meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The circumference of the track is 378 metres.
