Greyhound racing took place around the pitch following the construction of a track in 1987. Race night was a Thursday evening and race distances consisted of 420 and 700 metres. It was an all-grass surface with an 'Outside Sumner' hare system. There were kennels for 30 greyhounds and a totalisatoron site and the track circumference was 370 metres, which was described as having tight bends. The venture was short-lived, with the racing ending in 1988. The greyhound racing was independent. It was known as a flapping track, which was the nickname for independent tracks.
