Milton Keynes Greyhound Stadium

Milton Keynes Greyhound Stadium was a greyhound racing track in Milton Keynes located on the Groveway in Ashland.[1]

The stadium opened as an independent track on 25 July 1963. In 1971 the track upgraded and converted to NGRC status where many rules and regulations are enforced. After reverting to independent status the track once again joined the NGRC in 1980.

The B.S Group owned the track before being renamed to Gaming International and in 2005 they closed the track. Plans for a new track at Elfield Park near the National Bowl did not materialise.

The track was sometimes referred to as the Groveway or Bletchley but in later years it was known as Milton Keynes.
