We have some exciting news to share as Perry Barr Greyhound Stadium prepares to begin a new chapter in Wolverhampton.
Construction is now underway at Dunstall Park, where a brand-new, purpose-built greyhound racing track is being developed. This new venue will become the future home of greyhound racing currently held at Perry Barr and is set to open later this year.
While change is never easy, this move marks a positive step forward for the sport, and we’re committed to making this transition smooth, respectful of Perry Barr’s legacy, and full of opportunity for fans and racing teams alike.
What’s Happening?
Greyhound racing at Dunstall Park: The new track will sit inside Wolverhampton Racecourse and form part of a larger venue that already hosts horseracing, major events, along with a hotel and restaurant.
With room for up to 25,000 spectators, it’s an incredible setting to showcase greyhound racing to new and existing fans.
Top-class facilities: New kennel facilities are already being built to meet Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB) standards and work on the track itself is expected to begin soon in partnership with racing surface experts STRI.
What Does This Mean for Perry Barr?
We’re not closing just yet. There’s still time to enjoy a night at the dogs with us, and we’ll be marking these final months with events and special moments to celebrate everything Perry Barr has meant since our first race back in 1927. We know this place holds memories for so many, so we want to make the most of our time here with you before we say goodbye.
Looking Ahead Dunstall Park will carry on the Perry Barr legacy and become the new home for some of greyhound racing’s biggest events, including the Premier Greyhound Racing Oaks and the St Leger.
We’ll continue to share updates as we move forward, and we can’t wait to welcome you both for our final events at Perry Barr and to our future at Dunstall Park.
Thank you for being part of the Perry Barr journey. Let’s make these ultimate race nights ones to remember.
