Poole Stadium
Venue and speedway track in Dorset, England / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poole Stadium is a speedway and former greyhound racing venue located in the town centre of Poole, Dorset in England.[1] The stadium is owned by the Borough of Poole.[2] It was built in the early 1930s in an attempt to provide a source of entertainment to the residents of Poole during the Great Depression. It is also often referred to as Wimborne Road, which is a road that runs adjacent to the stadium. During weekdays, the stadium's large car park is used to provide parking for Poole Hospital's park and ride scheme.[3] On 22 September 2020 the permanent closure of greyhound racing at the site was announced.[4]
