Our ticket voucher paid for a drink and a bet. The races were delayed by 1 hour due to the heat of July. Majority of the staff were very pleasant. Excellent experience.

Situated just outside Bishopstown , has ample parking and the stadium has ,2 levels , top level has dining and large seating area . Downstairs the hustle and bustle with takeaway food It's a great night out for family and friends and can see the greyhound racing clearly. Will def be back again .
Joe Reynolds
The restaurant deal is a little over priced for what it is but the seats we had were right on the finish line at the front. The food was OK, service was great and the whole night is a bit of fun. Is better than just a meal out. Also great to bring the whole family.
